Flac with ID3v2

My flac player (internet radio) is only able to display the album art when there is an ID3v2 tag in the file. flac files will only be used in this player, so there is no risk of incompatibility when playing in other players. Is there a program capable of producing such a non-standard flac file?

Thank you for your response.
I have already watched the program in the past, but I was unable to add (copy) the image from Tag 2 to Tag 3 or Tag 1. The tag is then, for example, listed as FLAC (FLAC ID3v2) in the MP3Tag program with an image, but this image is not displayed on the digital device . Tag 3 must probably be inserted as well or only in it.

flac 1.4.3 is refusing to decode files having ID3v2 tag(s), at least that's what it says when I try it on some files;
even `--decode-through-errors` parameter does not help

flac source.flac --decode-through-errors --best -o destination.flac

flac 1.4.3

ERROR: input file source.flac has an ID3v2 tag

This must be a recent addition.
So what's the easiest way to remove such now-illegal ID3v2 tags from FLAC files? (on linux, in terminal)

I think you can only use --decode-through-errors when decoding to wav, not to re-encode the file directly.  You'll have to decode the file first, then encode it again.  You can do that in one step like this:

Code: [Select]
flac --best <(flac -cdF source.flac) -o destination.flac
