Is there a simple software to detect beats in audio and save those timestamps in a file?
I'd also recommend Essentia - example of rhythm detection here. It's an all-round great library for audio analysis/synthesis.
- Declarative, non-intrusive, compile-time C++ reflection for audio plug-ins

Docker Acquires Mutagen
Note for the confused (maybe just me?), this is not related to python-mutagen[0], the metadata library.

Resonance: Intuitive Music Player
I actually originally wrote Resonance in entirely in python when I was first learning how to make gtk4 / libadwaita applications. This first version used the mutagen tagging library for importing tags, which was written for the quodlibet player. Eventually, through the course of developing Resonance, I ran into noticeable latency issues with a sizable enough library. This was due (I think maybe due to this?) to how gdk pixbuf loading worked within PyGObject. This was especially an issue with the main album grid flowbox. (Loading a ton of album covers made it super laggy)

Looking for a music library app that can handle multiple artist/genre tags like Quod Libet does
It looks like Quod Libet, ExFalso (it's tag editor) and Mutagen its tagging library are the only ones that really do support actual multiple tags, both writing (Mutagen and ExFalso) and reading/playing/acting as a music library with Quod Libet…
