How to get album image from a music file using Mutagen and python?

Question

I checked this answer but it doesn't work. Here's my code:

from mutagen.id3 import ID3
music = ID3('music.mp3')
music.get('APIC:').data

I get following error: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'data'. I also tried to find out the field name using ID3('music.mp3'). There's no field name called APIC:, instead there's a field called APIC:thumbnail .

Without seeing your code, we're just guessing at the problem. — John Gordon, Mar 12 '19 at 15:23

`music.get('APIC:')` is returning `None`. That's the problem. — John Gordon, Mar 12 '19 at 15:48

Ok i found the solution. remember to add [0] otherwise you'll get error saying that it has no attribute called data.

from mutagen.id3 import ID3
music = ID3('music.mp3')    
music.getall("APIC")[0].data

Also you're using `.getall()` instead of `.get()`. – John Gordon Mar 12 '19 at 15:53
@JohnGordon yes. The answer i linked in my question suggests using .get() It didn't work for me but getall() did. – Sphinx Mar 12 '19 at 16:25
