Mutagen is a Python module to handle audio metadata.

Mutagen is a Python module to handle audio metadata.

It supports ASF, FLAC, M4A, Monkey's Audio, MP3, Musepack, Ogg FLAC, Ogg Speex, Ogg Theora, Ogg Vorbis, True Audio, WavPack and OptimFROG audio files.

All versions of ID3v2 are supported (for reading), and all standard ID3v2.4 frames are parsed. It can only write ID3v2.4 (and ID3v1.1) so it is not compatible with libid3 nor Windows Media Player (which still require ID3V2.3 as of 2013). It can read Xing headers to accurately calculate the bitrate and length of MP3s. ID3 and APEv2 tags can be edited regardless of audio format. It can also manipulate Ogg streams on an individual packet/page level.
