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 ?
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.
