Metadata on the Ogg-based formats have always been a bit ‘wild west’, with no
recognized standard schema. Hence, Rivendell doesn’t even try to use it. If you
have the data in some external form —e.g. spreadsheet, CSV file, etc — you can
script rdimport(1) to utilize it. See the audio importers at:
https://github.com/ElvishArtisan/rivendell-importers
for some possible approaches.
Cheers!
