Save the rating in the audio files M4A #151

Open ghost opened 8 years ago

Currently under settings, behavior, it says program can only save ratings to MP3 files. Please enable saving ratings to M4A as well, thank you.

M4A and other non MP3 file formats don't seem to have a tag to store ratings like ID3v2's POPM field.

Need to look into FMPS (standard used by other Open Source audio players).

Windows 7 and perhaps others can native write M4A tags, including ratings. MusicBee can also read and write M4A tags (sadly it is closed source).

What would be needed is the WM/SharedUserRating tag inside the Xtra atom
