ID3 tags and other small improvements

[xzys]

I just saw that there was another ID3 tag pull request. damn.

But I made two other minor changes in there which might be good.

1. I just moved the fetching code below the file check, so that if you already have the file, it wont re-download it. Speeds up the script a little bit.
2. It asks user input for the area to scrape and number of pages so you don't have to go into the file to change parameters. Just pressing enter when it asks passes in default parameters.
3. And yes, it adds simple artist and title ID3 tags using mutagen.

This looks pretty good.
Let me try it out but i don't see anything wrong with it.
I like the simplicity.

cool! this is insanely useful to me so I might add some more things for myself.

I don't want to add much more (and even the tags I might consider in a
separate branch).
I wanted to keep the script small enough so people could learn from it and
just incorporate it into their own scripts / tools.

I didn't want it to be a catch all script :)
Maybe it should have an examples folder?

Oh no I understand, I just meant in my own branch. I make music so fetching bpm, key and maybe album art would be great for me.

I originally had a tool that would use their API to extract stuff (like key)
