Can EMMS read aac / m4a tags?

Hello all,

I've got a fair-sized music library that's been ripped in iTunes in AAC
format. EMMS can play the tracks fine but apparently can't read the tags
(for the few mp3 track that I have it reads the tags fine).

I realise that the AAC tag format is proprietary but there seems to be
some other tools that can read and write it, easytag-aac being one.

Is there a way to allow EMMS to be able to read these tags?

Thanks,

David.

Someone would have to write an info backend that uses that tag reader
software and submit it to Emms as an addtional emms-info-... file.

In the meantime, can you use the taglib/libtag backend?
