如何使用 ffmpeg 从 mp3 中删除 ID3 音频标签图像（或元数据）

Question

FFMPEG is really a great tool. I know it can edit ID3 tags and even remove all tags in a row :

ffmpeg -i tagged.mp3 -map_metadata -1 untagged.mp3

But even after that, there's still the cover image.

I don't know how to remove it using ffmpeg. I know there's other soft out there that can do the job - like eyed3 - but what's the point to install it if ffmpeg can do it too, in one line, while encoding the audio ?

Answer 1

Strip metadata tags and remove album cover image

ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -map 0:a -c:a copy -map_metadata -1 output.mp3

• -map 0:a Includes only audio (omits all images). See FFmpeg Wiki: Map for more details.
• -c:a copy Enables stream copy mode so re-encoding is avoided.
• -map_metadata -1 Omits all metadata.

Answer 2

I've tried to use codes provided by LordNeckbeard, none of them worked for my case. But this one worked:

ffmpeg -i tagged.mp3 -acodec copy -map 0 -map_metadata 0:s:0 notags.mp3

It shows now only one tag, 'TSSE' (means Encoder). Also, very recommend this article, if you want to manipulate ID3 tags using ffmpeg:

Answer 3

I tried llogan's solution with a small castle.mp3 file and found out that its size increased from 4448 to 4797 bytes! Further inspection in Audacity revealed that the signal has been slightly "delayed" as well - however the length of the file [ castle2.mp3 ] remained the same.

After that, I used id3v2 -D castle.mp3 to delete all mp3 tags from the file, and the filesize went down to 4320 bytes, with no other noticeable (undesired) changes.

Answer 4

以上都不对我有用，但以下方法对我有用：

ffmpeg -i tagged.mp3 -write_xing 0 -id3v2_version 0 untagged.mp3

Answer 5

I try something like :

ffmpeg -i file.mp3 -ab 128k -ac 2 -ar 44100 -map 0:a -map_metadata -1 -sn -vn -y output.mp3

and have always cover on output.
