Description

WGroleau@MBP ~ % eyeD3 --version 0.9.6 WGroleau@MBP ~ % uname -a Darwin MBP.local 22.3.0 Darwin Kernel Version 22.3.0: Mon Jan 30 20:42:11 PST 2023; root:xnu-8792.81.3~2/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 System Version: macOS 13.2.1 (22D68)

Music purchased from Apple for their bundled Music.app comes in format AAC (name,m4a),  For these, eyeD3 says "No audio files found."  exiftool shows that there are lots of id3 tags.  It would be convenient if eyeD3 could read them, if not modify them.
