Coming Soon: Audio File Protection

We're actively researching audio-native licensing for MP3, WAV, and stem files. One approach under evaluation is embedding license metadata directly into ID3 tags. Final implementation may evolve based on legal/inpu from performance rights organizations.

Prototype: Embed rate via ID3 (concept only)

# Proof-of-concept only – API & schema TBD
from mutagen.id3 import ID3, TXXX

audio = ID3("song.mp3")
audio.add(TXXX(encoding=3, desc="ai-license-rate", text="0.08"))
