There is a read-only patch at <A HREF="http://www.isign-softart.de/download/taglib-1.4_with_itunes.tar.bz2">http://www.isign-softart.de/download/taglib-1.4_with_itunes.tar.bz2</A><BR>

I've made a readable/writable Mpeg4.File class based on it in my C# library TagLib#, which shouldn't be too hard to backport to TagLib (except for the fact there are 25 classes). You can get it here: <A HREF="http://svn.myrealbox.com/viewcvs/trunk/taglib-sharp/src/TagLib/Mpeg4/">http://svn.myrealbox.com/viewcvs/trunk/taglib-sharp/src/TagLib/Mpeg4/</A><BR>
