Hello,

I am transcoding a huge library of flac and ape files into Apple Lossless for use in iTunes. I wrote a script that searches for files in a directory structure, decodes them to wav and then encodes these into lossless m4a with afconvert. Now I would like to tag the m4a files from within the script with information contained in the file and folder names (album, track number, track title, composer). However, I haven't been able to find a working commandline tagger for m4a files.

I have tried id3tool on a bunch of Apple Lossless files, but neither iTunes nor Cog recognizes the tags set with this tool (although id3tool does on the commandline). I would appreciate any help, since I am completely new to the topic.

Thanks in advance
