ID3 Tags
ExifTool extracts ID3 and Lyrics3 information from MP3, MPEG, WAV, AIFF,
OGG, FLAC, APE, MPC and RealAudio files. ID3v2 tags which support multiple
languages (eg. Comment and Lyrics) are extracted by specifying the tag name,
followed by a dash ('-'), then a 3-character ISO 639-2 language code (eg.
"Comment-spa"). See https://id3.org/ for the official ID3 specification
and http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php for a list of
ISO 639-2 language codes.
