I'm still not certain of this, but we probably can't use mutagen. That's what
they told me on their IRC channel, too.
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#IfInterpreterIsGPL says:

"Another similar and very common case is to provide libraries with the
interpreter which are themselves interpreted. For instance, Perl comes with
many Perl modules, and a Java implementation comes with many Java classes.
These libraries and the programs that call them are always dynamically linked
together.

A consequence is that if you choose to use GPL'd Perl modules or Java classes
in your program, you must release the program in a GPL-compatible way,
regardless of the license used in the Perl or Java interpreter that the
combined Perl or Java program will run on."

Searching the Fedora package repository, I found the Python TagLib bindings,
TagPy: http://mathema.tician.de/software/tagpy TagPy is BSD licensed, TagLib
itself is LGPLv2 (and MPL, but we don't need to care about that), both of which
are in my understanding compatible with GPLv3+, so that's one option to use.
TagPy seems to be in Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora, I didn't check any other
distros.
