Feature request: retrieve album art prior to rip #442

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 

It is commonplace when building a music library to include cover art.  The FLAC 
and MP3 formats (and probably others) allow album art to be embedded in the 
headers.  It would be wonderfully convenient to insert this embedded covert art 
during the ripping process and not leave it as a post rip step.  This feature 
would make rubyripper the single program to use when adding a CD to a music 
library.

Comment in Issue 394:
"Downloading of cover art is not a ripper feature, but an audio player future."

Hopefully the above is not the prevailing wisdom, cover art is a music library 
concern, serving a library with DAAP can go to many audio players, the obvious 
location for the cover art is in the library.

I'd love to have cover art support added in the ripper.
I think it's just as the tags, and if tags are added by the ripper, then adding 
cover art with the ripper makes sense too.

Rubyripper is a rare programm that can write "clean" mp3 tags in file (checked 
with mp3diags).
But then i need another programm to insert the cover. This programm is then 
destroying the clean tag from RR, then i have to fix them with mp3diags.

So adding the cover from within rubyripper is the only feature i miss for a 
10/10

Anyway, thank you for developing this great soft
