Use binwalk to extract all files

Question

I have a file music.mp3. After using binwalk, I get the result:

pexea12@DESMICE:~/Downloads$ binwalk music.mp3

DECIMAL       HEXADECIMAL     DESCRIPTION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
152318        0x252FE         MySQL ISAM compressed data file Version 2
586865        0x8F471         MySQL ISAM compressed data file Version 5

5832748       0x59002C        Unix path: /ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/mm/"
5832806       0x590066        Unix path: /ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/sType/ResourceEvent#">

I realize that there are some other file type in my music.mp3 such as MySQL, TIFF image. Now I want to extract all these files to see the real contents of them.

I try the command binwalk -e music.mp3 but it only works with compressed files such as .zip. How can I get all these files?

binwalk -e music.mp3

will automatically list/extract known file types, WHERE AS

binwalk -D='.*' music.mp3

OR

binwalk --dd='.*' music.mp3

will Extract type signatures, give the files an extension of ext, and execute cmd. You can refer binwalk manual page here for more options.

You can use

binwalk -e -c music.mp3

default directory would be your pwd
