Audio and (Video?) file metadata is different with ffprobe.  
Is this correct behaivior? or the bug?  
I think ffprobe's results good.

The file (yt-dlp -f 251 -x --add-metadata [https://youtu.be/IidyyM3giZw](https://youtu.be/IidyyM3giZw) )  
yt-dlp-output.opus  
ffprobe result:

What exactly is different or not existing in Mp3tag?  
Do you mean `DESCRIPTION` in Mp3tag which is `comment` in ffprobe?  
Or the additional `LANGIJAGE` in Mp3tag?

`Comment` \> `Description`  
`date` \> `year`  
and, `language`  
these.

I don't really know why `language` added.

These are just displaying names. Every software is using its own [displaying names](https://docs.mp3tag.de/mapping/).  
The technical field names actually used in the files metadata are often only short abbrevations.
