The lack of agreement about the (finer) points of the standard confirms me in the view that I should prepare the tagging information in a simple text file and script the application to the m4a files. If I do this, I would be able to abandon m4a files and transcode everything to flac and then retag everything with a suitable script to drive a flac tagging program. This is a last resort, which I'd like to avoid

So, does anybody have any suggestions as to a suitable program?

Hi Mike, since you know C++ I guess you probably know Java as well. So how about my opensrc java jaudiotagger lib - https://bitbucket.org/ijabz/jaudiotagger. This provides a consistent way of tagging all the audio formats it supports (and does support multiple values for com.apple.iTunes reverse dns fields).It is the library used not only by SongKong/Jaikoz but also Bliss tagger, Beatunes and a host of other tools.

These are the fields supported for all formats - https://bitbucket.org/ijabz/jaudiotagger...ew-default
