m4a tagging support?

[Brian Nickel]

Michael,

There is a read-only patch at
http://www.isign-softart.de/download/taglib-1.4_with_itunes.tar.bz2

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:
http://svn.myrealbox.com/viewcvs/trunk/taglib-sharp/src/TagLib/Mpeg4/
