Is it possible to remove embedded art from the playing item?

I have a bit of code that works fine if the file isn't playing but it fails with "File is already in use" if it is playing. This isn't an issue with the built in dialog so I guess I'm doing something wrong??

Code: [Select]
STDMETHODIMP JSUtils::RemoveAlbumArtEmbedded(BSTR rawpath, int art_id)
{
	TRACK_FUNCTION();

	if (!rawpath) return E_INVALIDARG;

	service_enum_t<album_art_editor> e;
	service_ptr_t<album_art_editor> ptr;
	pfc::stringcvt::string_utf8_from_wide urawpath(rawpath);
	pfc::string_extension ext(urawpath);
	abort_callback_dummy abort;

	while (e.next(ptr))
	{
		if (ptr->is_our_path(urawpath, ext))
		{
			try
			{
				album_art_editor_instance_ptr aaeip;
				GUID what = helpers::convert_artid_to_guid(art_id);
				aaeip = ptr->open(NULL, urawpath, abort);
				aaeip->remove(what);
				aaeip->commit(abort);
			}
			catch (std::exception & e)
			{
				console::formatter() << e.what();
			}
		}
	}

	return S_OK;
}
