I was talking about the id3 tags, but it seems all the albums I downloaded lack any tags.
Then they are normalizing it by removing that data. You will need to use a script that is designed to capture the file and the meta at the same time. This means you need api or scraping instead of just pulling the file.
From what I've gathered so far, it seems that it's up to the artist what tags are included with the track, and most of them don't bother to include any.
So far even the ones that I found that included some metadata are simply not consistent enough and retagging them with Picard seems better.
