Fail to extract cover art from mp3

[Ken Choy]

I am using TagLib-1.8 to try to extract cover art from an ID3v2.3.0 mp3 file which contains the following at the beginning (displayed in hex dump output):

Used the following TagLib framelist.cpp module (framelist program in examples sub-directory) to dump frames but the APIC frame is not picked up i.e. not displayed:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  // process the command line args


  for(int i = 1; i < argc; i++) {

    cout << "******************** \"" << argv[i] << "\"********************" << endl;

    MPEG::File f(argv[i]);

    ID3v2::Tag *id3v2tag = f.ID3v2Tag();

    if(id3v2tag) {

      cout << "ID3v2."
           << id3v2tag->header()->majorVersion()
           << "."
           << id3v2tag->header()->revisionNumber()
           << ", "
           << id3v2tag->header()->tagSize()
           << " bytes in tag"
           << endl;

      ID3v2::FrameList::ConstIterator it = id3v2tag->frameList().begin();
      for(; it != id3v2tag->frameList().end(); it++)
        cout << (*it)->frameID() << " - \"" << (*it)->toString() << "\"" << endl;
    }
    else
      cout << "file does not have a valid id3v2 tag" << endl;
...


If I change APIC's picture type from 00 (Other) to 03 (front Cover), TagLib-1.8 still fails to extract the APIC frame information via the framelist program.  However,  I am able to see the cover art using MediaMonkey and Mp3tag.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
