It would be great if youtube-dl could support ID3v2 tags (especially when downloading audio files).
It could set the title, author and even embed the thumbnail ?

Audio downloaded from youtube is either m4a or webm, so it's not ID3 tags. Regardless, IMO you don't need to handle these features in the downloading tool, I'd suggest using mutagen to add the tags yourself.

Yeah I'm wrong, it is not ID3 but something similar. I can and will probably do the tagging afterwards but it is such a waste...

I implemented tag support via youtube-dl after requesting it a little while back (#7862), https://github.com/blha303/getsong/blob/v2.0.1/getsong/getsong.py#L102-L117
