The current code quality of this project is in a sorry state, but that might change in the near future. It is expected to work well though, so please do open an issue if something doesn't work. New contributions are welcome but make sure you read CONTRIBUTING.md first.

Until opustags becomes top-quality software, if it ever does, you might want to check out these more mature tag editors:

• EasyTAG
• Beets
• Picard
• puddletag
• Quod Libet
• Goggles Music Manager

See also these libraries if you need a lower-level access:

• TagLib
• mutagen
