Comment (by jrf):

 Replying to [comment:5 desrosj]:
 > For updating getID3, there is #43836 for updating to the latest 1.9.x
 version. I think when that lands, changing the curly braces in the library
 to prevent these deprecation notices would be fine.

 I think it would be better to ask the maintainer to tag a new release and
 then update to that version as there are
 [https://github.com/JamesHeinrich/getID3/compare/v1.9.17...master numerous
 other bugfixes] which haven't been included in a release yet.

 I would also like to suggest considering upgrading to 2.0 if released in
 time. [https://github.com/JamesHeinrich/getID3/compare/v1.9.17...master
 Upgrade path doesn't seem too difficult] and would put us in a better
 position for moving towards autoloading/using Composer for the future.
