Use Youtube's Song-Title/Artist metadata instead of Video-Title/Uploader metadata? #497

I'd like to export music (.mp3 files) with the metadata of the artist and song title provided by Youtube (Music? Not sure what it's called, but it's in the Youtube-generated description section of the video), instead of using the video title and uploader's username as the metadata for these songs. Is there any way to change that, such as in the options setting?

Hey :) what you can do is tick the option to save the metadata as JSON and take a look of the information you are looking for is included there.

Not sure if yt-dlp has an option to write that information into the mp3 file though
