Python eyed3 and getting Musicbrainz tags

Question

Hello is it possible to read Musicbrainz tags with eyed3 in python?

I can do the following...

audiofile = eyed3.load(sys.argv[1])
artist = audiofile.tag.artist
album = audiofile.tag.album
...

But I cant find the Musicbrainz tags...

mbid = audiofile.tag.MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMID

I couldn't find any info on how to list all tags, so I used another piece of software to find the tag names.

Answer 1

1. Ensure eyeD3 recognizes one of the ID3v2 tags.
2. List all UFID or TXXX frames (or for ID3v2.2 TXX). Since they're general purpose containers you have to further investigate them.
3. In your case search for the latter with a description of MusicBrainz Album Id.

You "cant find the Musicbrainz tags" because they don't exist as such. It's like living with your parents is possible without having/needing your own bell at the door. eyeD3 also doesn't seem to support any of the other metadata formats where MusicBrainz details may reside - in general you can expect ID3 to appear in MP3 files, so it should work for you in most if not all cases.
