how to display the image inside a mp3 file in a image tag

Question

Hi I was trying to show the image retrieved from a mp3 file in a image tag using html and reactjs. This is the code I used.

   async getImageFromUploadedFile(framesRetrieved){
        const imageArrayBufferRetrieved = framesRetrieved[4].value.data;
        var blob = new Blob([imageArrayBufferRetrieved]);
        var reader = new FileReader();
        reader.onload = function(event){
        var base64 =   event.target.result;
        };
        reader.readAsDataURL(blob);
    }

when I console the base64 image I got something like this. screen capture of the base64 image

I tried to show the retrieved image using this code

            <Grid item xs={12}>
                <Grid item container xs={6}>
                <div id="title"></div>
               <img src="data:image/png;base64,base64"/>
               <div id="audioContainer"></div>
               <div id="lyricsContainer"></div>
                </Grid>
            </Grid>

But the image does not appear in the tag. There is no console errors. Great if you can help. Thanks.

I could fix using https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsmediatags

First you have to install jsmediatags library using npm install jsmediatags --save

This is the code that I use to get the image of the mp3

 var jsmediatags = require("jsmediatags"); new jsmediatags.Reader(content) .setTagsToRead(["title", "artist","picture","lyrics"]).read({ onSuccess: function(tag) { var tags = tag.tags; var base64String = ""; for (var i = 0; i < tags.picture.data.length; i++) { base64String += String.fromCharCode(tags.picture.data[i]); } var dataUrl = "data:" + tags.picture.format + ";base64," +window.btoa(base64String); document.getElementById('cover').setAttribute('src',dataUrl); }, onError: function(error) { console.log(':(', error.type, error.info); } });
