I've tried to figure out how to write a new toolkit (very confusing) to extract the album art image from an ID3v2 tag in an mp3 but am making no progress. I can extract the image and write it to a file as a stand-alone script, but I can't figure out how to turn it into a module. Also, I want to parse the extracted image through the graphics toolkit to resize it if needed but am unsure how. Would anyone be interested in working on this? Patrick |

we can certainly provide some guidance.
the best way to use the embedded image as an item thumbnail is to have your toolkit support the operation called 'convert-to-image/jpeg' for the mp3 mime type. G2 already attempts to use this operation to generate a thumbnail, and will still apply the requested thumbnail size afterwards to resize as needed.
perhaps look at modules/thumbnail as an example.. let us know if you have more questions.
