Description

It would be really great if it was possible to add MBID tags as some self host music servers (for example LMS) can use it for Scrobbling to services like Listenbrainz

Research direction
Investigate how the downloaded files are currently saved (likely in src/). Determine if any metadata tags are already written (e.g., ID3). Explore using the MusicBrainz API to fetch MBID for each track (maybe from Spotify or Apple Music IDs). Use a library like 'node id3' or 'musicbrainz api' to write the 'MUSICBRAINZ TRACKID' frame. Consider adding configuration option to enable/disable. Test with LMS or Listenbrainz.
