I indeed figured out how to extract the cover art than remove it from the song.

I already know how to place it back too. The problem is I don’t know what the metadata comment tag is. 
I can’t find it on the image after extracting with exiftools or any other tool for that matter. If I reattach the cover afterwards with ffmpeg, the metadata tag is still there.
I guess it must be stored somewhere, but I have no idea how to acces or change 

P.S the commands I used to split/extract/... just came from stackoverflow answers, happy to send to commands here if you need them.
