Description
Your idea
I exported an MP3 file and noted that although the mscz file has 'Work title', the MP3 Title is blank. I then added custom properties Title and Comments and re-exported. The MP3 properties are still blank.
Request:: upon audio export, loop all the properties and populate any tags in the MP3 whose names match
Problem to be solved
Tags missing from MP3 export

Research direction
No source files or tests are named. Start by locating the audio-export entry point and the code that writes MP3 metadata, then trace how MSCZ properties are loaded. Done means exporting an MP3 populates tags whose names match the available properties, including the work title and custom Title and Comments properties.
