Hello get_iplayer team,

I'd like to suggest an option to disable writing of the embedded <album> 
metadata tag into created .mp4 files.

get_iPlayer currently writes the name of the recorded program as the <album> 
tag. This can cause isses with media databases like the one used by the Plex 
Media Server. Plex interprets the <album> tag to mean, that a given media file 
is part of a larger collection or tv series. It's used, for example, to group 
all the James Bond movies into a single collection. 

Since all get_iPlayer files created with embedded metadata have the program 
name in the <album> tag, Plex automatically creates two entries for every .mp4 
added to the library. One for the movie or tv show itself and another one for a 
collection by the same name.

Best
Thomas
