Description

Hi,

is FLAC support something you consider worthwhile? I convert more music to FLAC these days and would like to use eyeD3 with it (like I do for mp3s).

Thanks,

Alex

Research direction
This issue requests adding FLAC support to eyeD3. To implement, one would need to understand how eyeD3 currently handles MP3 files and ID3 tags. Investigate the existing codebase structure, particularly the tag processing modules (e.g., `eyed3/mp3/`). Consider using a library like `mutagen` for FLAC metadata extraction. Check the issue comments for any prior discussion on approach.
