Add ID3 tags to MP3 files (was: Thumbnail shows in VLC, but not Windows Media Player?)

[g5122053]

Running the following creates an mp3 file and the corresponding thumbnail:

youtube-dl --write-thumbnail --embed-thumbnail -x --audio-format mp3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2AC41dglnM

If I open the mp3 with VLC, the thumbnail shows, but if I open it with Windows Media Player it doesn't. What am I doing wrong? How can I make it show in Windows Media Player as well?

For MP3 files, Windows Media Player reads the thumbnail from ID3 tags, which is not supported yet.

If you have eyeD3 installed, try the following command:

eyeD3 --to-v2.3 --add-image "AC_DC - Thunderstruck-v2AC41dglnM.jpg:FRONT_COVER" "AC_DC - Thunderstruck-v2AC41dglnM.mp3"

i see --to-v2.3 in the options passed to eyeD3
may be changing the version(-id3v2_version 3) in ffmpeg can fix the problem.
