Script to split delimited Vorbis tags to separate fields

super-awesome-vorbis-splitter-jai-kebab-case-i-used-gemini-for-a-part-of-this-script-but-as-penance-ive-used-stack-overflow-and-razed-off-half-my-dignity-in-the-process-for-being-a-newbie-in-python.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# kebab case for life
# thanks to Aiden Marsh of Stack Overflow (cant find their username anymore) for helping me convert this into a usable local bin script -- just needed that shebang and chmod +x
