title: Tag downloaded files using Mutagen
---

Add episode and podcast titles to MP3/OGG tags
Add episode and podcast titles to MP3/OGG tags.

By default, this extension will:
- Remove existing tags
- Write the Title tag, stripping the album from the beginning of the Title if necessary
- Write the Album tag
- Write the Artist tag (with the same string as the Album tag)
- Write the Genre (to "Podcast", configurable)
- Write the publish date

Also available are writing the Subtitle tag and the Comments tag (both with the
subtitle field), but the subtitle is often so long that it may cause problems with
certain audio players, such as Rockbox players. These are disabled by default.

This extension can optionally embed coverart - note that the coverart will not be
standardized in any way, so Rockbox users be wary. This is disabled by default.

This extension can optionally remove all tags instead of doing any of the above.
This is disabled by default.

## Dependencies

This extension requires python module `mutagen`.
