Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

The request is about metadata. It's too limited, mainly on YouTube: even if the video has information about the music album, the extractor won't get it.
I've been trying to download a playlist; to analyze the problem with fewer objects, I've been using this video. It has album metadata; but even with writeinfojson=True, I can't seem to find the album's name. I'm using
options = dict(quiet=False, addmetadata=True, writethumbnail=True, outtmpl=out_dir + "\\%(title)s.%(ext)s", format="bestaudio/best", prefer_ffmpeg=True, writeinfojson=True, ffmpeg_location=os.path.join(os.getcwd(), r"mp3_ytdl\ffmpeg"), postprocessors=[{"key": "FFmpegExtractAudio", "preferredcodec": "mp3"}, {'key': 'FFmpegMetadata'}, {'key': 'EmbedThumbnail', 'already_have_thumbnail': True}])

as options, but I had no advance at all. Please give us more info about music metadata!
