[Feature Request]

Description

pls add/write the actually used source (qobuz/tidal/amzn/deezer) for a file to the metadata.

-> e.g. as addition to comment or description field like
comment=https://github.com/afkarxyz/SpotiFLAC src: tidal
description=https://github.com/afkarxyz/SpotiFLAC src: tidal

or as FF Vorbis Comment for FLAC files
SOURCE=tidal

Use Case

For later identifying when using auto-source

That would be very awesome - especially for hi-res files with setting of auto source - to identify quality differences between sources.
Also in general for later more convenient identifying which source works better.

@Snapuman workaround, choose one source and download twice

@mahoganyprogrammer sure, I can also check debug logs where it says which source succeed...
I even could export the log and write a script to do this more automatic afterwards.

But why not implement directly when information is already there - just one more thing to write in the metadata. :)
Hence this is a feature request :)
