== Installation ==

[https://www.python.org/ Pyhton 3] is required. You will also need the mutagen python package which can be installed using [https://packaging.python.org/key_projects/#pip pip]: <code>sudo pip install mutagen</code>, or you can probably obtain it through your package manager.

Save the file as <code>mtags.py</code> in either your <code>$PATH</code> or your <code>$VIFM/scripts</code> directory. Make sure that the file is executable.

Then you can run it in vifm.
