• If you want ffmpeg to overwrite the existing mp4 files, replace the argument "-n" by "-y" in the subprocess.call
• If you want to modify the way titles and descriptions are generated, edit the following lines :

title = str(audio["album"]).strip('[\']') + " - " +  str(audio["title"]).strip('[\']')
metadata = {
                "title":  title,
                "description": "Album: " + str(audio["album"]).strip('[\']') + "\nArtist(s): " + str(audio["artist"]).strip('[\']').replace("\"", "")
            }
