}
defer mp4.Close()

Read album title:

tags, err := mp4.Read()
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(tags.Album)

Extract all covers:

tags, err := mp4.Read()
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}

for idx, pic := range tags.Pictures {
	fname := fmt.Sprintf("out_%03d.jpg", idx+1)
	err = os.WriteFile(fname, pic.Data, 0666)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}

Write two covers:

picOneData, err := os.ReadFile("1.jpg")
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}

picTwoData, err := os.ReadFile("2.jpg")
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}

picOne := &mp4tag.MP4Picture{Data: picOneData}
picTwo := &mp4tag.MP4Picture{Data: picTwoData}

tags := &mp4tag.MP4Tags{
	Pictures: []*mp4tag.MP4Picture{picOne, picTwo},
}

err = mp4.Write(tags, []string{})
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}

Write track number and total:

tags := &mp4tag.MP4Tags{
	TrackNumber: 1,
	TrackTotal: 10,
}

err = mp4.Write(tags, []string{})
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}
