Are you aware that "id3" comes from "Identify an MP3"?

You have a feature-request for an application to support id3 tags on
another file format. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/237506#c8 explains
it.

id3 is a data container format that even breaks with some audio
container formats. FLAC -- the audio format itself -- *may* work just
fine together with implementations of id3v2, but developers of FLAC
libraries and/or developers of audio applications still need to
implement it first and not violate id3.org compliance.
