Yeah, I guess I should really have been more clear in that regard.

Given that it's more or less impossible for a command line tool like
ogg123 to show any meaningful output for the Metadata_block_picture
comment it would be better not to display it at all. That is, I think
it would be an improvement if ogg123 ignored/hid that field.

The problem with the Metadata_block_picture base64 filling the entire
screen is that one don't see the potentially more interesting comments
such as Title, Artist, Album, etc.
