Removing custom tags

Opened this issue · 0 comments

Some files may contain custom tags, which are not hardcoded in the library. For example I encountered a file with "album artist" instead of "albumartist". Or I can just insert "abc" tag in a program like Picard or mp3tag to test a completely random tag name.

Removing them with f.remove_tag(tag_name) doesn't work. For "album artist", the tag is still in the file after saving. For "abc", a KeyError is raised during lookup in AudioFile.tag_map, which does not contain "abc" entry, even though there is a tag named like that in the audio file.

I found a workaround based on #28: del f.mfile.tags[tag_name] However, it doesn't look like the expected usage of the API.
