I am also getting issues with audio files. I tried with .mp3 and .wav file format and getting the below issue:

Additionally, I am using a Mac and noticed that exiftool was not installed during the pip installation. I’m unable to install this tool externally because macOS is blocking the installation and displaying a malware warning. Could someone assist with this? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
