MediaFile is a simple interface to the metadata tags for many audio file formats. It wraps Mutagen_, a high-quality library for low-level tag manipulation, with a high-level, format-independent interface for a common set of tags.

Synopsis

MediaFile is available on PyPI_. Install it by typing pip install mediafile. It works on Python 3.10 or later. Then:
