print(audiofile.tag.artist)

This is an error

Answer 1

For Python 3 things have changed and my code runs on my Mac.

@yask was correct as you should be checking for non-existent values and this is my example:

Copy and paste and just adjust the path for your needs & can be used in a loop of file paths.

"""PlaceHolder."""
import re

from os import path as ospath

from eyed3 import id3

current_home = ospath.expanduser('~')
file_path = ospath.join(current_home,
                        'Music',
                        'iTunes',
                        'iTunes Media',
                        'Music',
                        'Aerosmith',
                        'Big Ones',
                        '01 Walk On Water.mp3',
                        )
