tinytag VS mutagen

They're using tinytag, which apparently is a remarkably small library.

I execute a python script using the --exec method after the yt-dlp command to remove things like "Official Video" , featuring artists and other nuances using Music Metadata Filter. Do you think, turning Album Performer to blank if Album is blank is possible using a yt-dlp command argument or I am better off just doing it using a module like mutagen or tinytag inside the script?

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

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)

At least https://github.com/quodlibet/mutagen/issues doesn't seem to have issues open related about Ogg that seem relevant.

If you do python, check this module out: https://github.com/quodlibet/mutagen

The python script will update the metadata and prepare it for plex using mutagen

not sure but see this thread https://github.com/quodlibet/mutagen/issues/327

It looks like mutagen is mapping version to TIT3.

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…
