describe the feature you'd like to see

It may be a weird usecase, but I often use Cobalt to download music.

It would be nice if Cobalt automatically embedded available metadata for the songs I'm downloading, if it is an audio file. Apps would display info and the album cover properly, and it would make my life as a "Music Downloader That Has Spotify But Wants Local Files" more easy :3

additional context

Stuff like yt-dlp have args that embed metadata, or so I've heard from some friends in some discords I'm in

spotdl is a related tool that allows people to input a Spotify (or other services iirc) link and get downloads from YouTube with all the metadata, using yt-dlp
