Shipping a piece of glue code to talk to a library is fine, but adding
an entire separate piece of software that has more lines of code than
Emms to the repo is lopsided.

Supporting it through Emms still sounds fine, and people can go grab a
copy and install it.

http://mutagen.readthedocs.io/en/latest/man/mid3v2.html, using the
mutagen library.
But once again, this would be a supported backend, not something that
comes with Emms.

As above, I wouldn't go for more than an interface to a robust solution
that people can install.
