`series` and `series-part` aren't standard tags. Currently, there is no way to write these tags directly with Opus.

[Mp3tag](https://www.mp3tag.de) and [foobar2000](https://www.foobar2000.org) can create and display them.

[FFmpeg](https://www.ffmpeg.org) can write them:

```plaintext
@nodeselect
@nofilenamequoting

ffmpeg.exe -i "{filepath}" -metadata series="Hello World 1" -metadata series-part="Hello World 2" -codec copy "{filepath}.mp3"

```

[ExifTool](https://resource.dopus.com/t/exiftool-custom-columns/38975) can read them.
