NAME

Music::Tag::M4A - Plugin module for Music::Tag to get information from Apple QuickTime headers.

SYNOPSIS

use Music::Tag

my $filename = "/var/lib/music/artist/album/track.m4a";

my $info = Music::Tag->new($filename, { quiet => 1 }, "M4A");

$info->get_info();

print "Artist is ", $info->artist;

DESCRIPTION

Music::Tag::M4A is used to read header information from QuickTime MP4 contonainers. It uses Audio::M4P::Quicktime and MP4::Info.

It is not currently able to write M4A tags. Audio::M4P::QuickTime can write these tags, but iTunes has trouble reading them after they have been writen. Setting the option "write_m4a" will enable some tags to be writen, but iTunes will have problems!

No values are required (except filename, which is usually provided on object creation). You normally read information from Music:Tag::M4P first.

SET VALUES

artist, album

disc, totaldiscs, tempo, encoder, title, composer

copyright, track, totaltracks, comment, lyrics

bitrate, duration, picture

OPTIONS

write_m4a

Set to true to allow some tags to be writen to disc. Not recommended.

BUGS

M4A Tags are error-prone. Writing tags is not reliable.
