YouTube detects songs included in video and they're used as metadata in downloaded videos if the option
--add-metadatais used. For example,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMlpiey20b8

An option to not use that and use channel and video title accordingly as it's done on videos without detected songs would be useful.
