Description

The itunes-podcast plugin has been a great help in creating the PCST and WFED frames demanded by iTunes, but the WFED frame created by itunes-podcast is always empty and cannot be updated. I see in id3/apple.py that both WFED and TGID are defined as text frames, but only TGID can be managed via eyeD3. It would be terrific if eyeD3 could manipulate WFED as easily as a TGID frame.

Research direction
The WFED frame is defined as a text frame in eyeD3/id3/apple.py, but unlike TGID, it is not exposed via the eyeD3 tag API. Start by examining how TGID is currently handled (likely in the same file or tag module) and replicate that pattern for WFED. Check the eyeD3 documentation and test files for any existing WFED related code. The change is localized and should not affect other functionality.
