Awesome! Thank you!

EDIT: Is there an established way to embed the metadata in the music file, rather than in a separate XML file?

Unfortunately not that I'm aware of however the XML format has certainly helped normalise the metadata between distributors - alternative artist spelling is a good example. Numerous ways to spell Tchaikovsky!

Do you know if the metadata is available via a free, open resource? For others, here are some very interesting looking links I just found:

* https://kb.ddex.net/display/HBK/Technical+Description+of+RIN

Recording Information Notification (RIN) standard, used by DDEX. See the samples at the bottom for a good sense of it.

* https://jaxsta.com/

Jaxsta is said to aggregate DDEX metadata, but I'm not sure what exactly that means or if it's publicly available.

* https://www.sound.credit/

Sound Credit calls itself "The Next Generation of Credits, Liner Notes, and Album Art" and seems marketed toward industry, but uses the RIN standard (and DDEX metadata?). Someplace said the metadata was freely available, but I don't see it in a brief look.

Not that I'm aware of. It's data that accompanies audio from publishers/distributors to ensure consistency across platforms. Perhaps with free audio but I can't really see a business reason to publish for free
