ITUNESADVISORY Tag option

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm sure you've heard about the iTunes match problem which replaces explicit 
songs with clean ones.

I've downloaded A LOT of US Hip-Hip with iTunes match an now have to find out 
which songs are still explicit and wich ones were replaced with clean versions 
-> HORROR!

A solution to this madness could be itunes-match-tagger!!!
I you could add an option to update the ITUNESADVISORY tag to your downloaded 
songs, one could easily see which tracks are still explicit and which ones are 
clean.

ITUNESADVISORY = 1 means explicit
ITUNESADVISORY = 2 means clean

Please let me know what you think about this idea. This could save my Hip-Hop  
music library.

For example:

If you look up "The Whole World Lookin' At Me" form Busta Rhymes:
http://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=321975642&country=AT

you see that
"contentAdvisoryRating":"Clean"

that means you have to set the ITUNESADVISORY tag in the file to 2.

I added a interim(!) version of the program, found under issues. A log.txt will 
be made with all found track and if they are explicit. Just check the no update 
box, select the files of interest in iTunes and click the button.

Thanks a lot! I'm sure this can be helpfull for a lot of guys.

I've already "hired" a friend of mine to implement the feature. Main problem is 
that the ITunesCom SDK doesn't give you access to the itunesadvisory tag. So 
we've created a workaround writing the contentAdvisoryRating into the composer 
tag ("1" for explicit, "2" for clean). Later on I can batch transfer the values 
from the composer tag to the ITUNESADVISORY tag with the help of the tool 
mp3tag.

But there are more problems.
1: When it comes to the explicit tag the iTunes store is a mess! Some albums 
are tagged some are not. Some are only tagged in one country but not in 
another, etc. You always have to doublecheck
2: There are quite a lot of songs that can't be found, no matter which itunes 
store you choose.
