Video to MP3 Converter with Album Art

This repository contains two tools for converting video files into MP3 clips with embedded album art:

1. A command-line script for developers and power users.
2. A web-based application for a more user-friendly experience.

Both tools use FFmpeg for video and audio processing.

• Each clip is named as:
  • clip_1_with_art.mp3
  • clip_2_with_art.mp3

Web Application:

• ZIP archive containing all MP3 clips:
  • clip_1_with_art.mp3
  • clip_2_with_art.mp3
