title: How can I extract the album art from an MP3 ID3 tag?
body: <p>I can successfully get the mp3 ID3 tags out of my mp3 app, using php. I am left with a huge BLOB. I'm sure this is pretty straightforward, but I just need a little help in the right direction. What I'd like to end up with is (BLOB DATA CORRECTED):</p>
  
  <pre><code>$media_year = implode($ThisFileInfo['comments_html']['year']);
  $media_genre = implode($ThisFileInfo['comments_html']['genre']);
  $media_jpg = [BLOBDATA];
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>(<strong>I know that makes no programming sense, but you get the idea. The first two lines work fine for me, but I don't know how to get the BLOBDATA from the ID3 tags and convert it to a JPG that I can display.</strong>)</p>
  
  <p>In another tutorial I see this, but it doesn't connect the dots for me:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[comments] =&gt; Array
      (
          [picture] =&gt; Array
              (
                  [0] =&gt; Array
                      (
                          [data] =&gt; &lt;binary data&gt;
                          [image_mime] =&gt; image/jpeg
                      )
  
              )
  
      )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I loathe asking readers to "do it for me" so, please forgive me. But I've tried every resource I can find.  Any help is supremely appreciated.</p>
