I have a collection of opus music files that needs tagging and a text file containing the appropriate tags. I'm trying to accomplish the tagging through a Python script but I need a way to edit the metadata of the opus files. So a CLI program that can tag opus files.



opusenc, which is part of opus-tools doesn't accept opus files as input. There are a lot of graphical programs that can edit the tags of opus files but that doesn't help me in this case. I was thinking ffmpeg could do it but the wiki page doesn't mention opus (or ogg or flac which also uses a "Vorbis Comment" to store metadata as I understand it).



I assume my two suggestions would re-encode the files and I'm not sure if that will damage the sound quality. If so it would be preferable to use something that doesn't re-encode.



I'm running Manjaro Linux.
