A library for reading and writing iTunes style MPEG-4 audio metadata.
Most commonly this kind of metadata is found inside `m4a` or `m4b` files but basically any `mp4` container supports it.
## Examples
### The easy way
```rust
let mut tag = mp4ameta::Tag::read_from_path("music.m4a").unwrap();
println!("{}", tag.artist().unwrap());
tag.set_artist("artist");
tag.write_to_path("music.m4a").unwrap();
```
### The hard way
```rust
use mp4ameta::{Data, Fourcc, Tag};
let mut tag = Tag::read_from_path("music.m4a").unwrap();
let artist_ident = Fourcc(*b"\xa9ART");
let artist = tag.string(&artist_ident).next().unwrap();
println!("{}", artist);
tag.set_data(artist_ident, Data::Utf8("artist".to_owned()));
tag.write_to_path("music.m4a").unwrap();
```
### Using freeform identifiers
```rust
use mp4ameta::{Data, FreeformIdent, Tag};
let mut tag = Tag::read_from_path("music.m4a").unwrap();
let isrc_ident = FreeformIdent::new("com.apple.iTunes", "ISRC");
let isrc = tag.string(&isrc_ident).next().unwrap();
println!("{}", isrc);
tag.set_data(isrc_ident, Data::Utf8("isrc".to_owned()));
tag.write_to_path("music.m4a").unwrap();
```
