I think mutagen is the right choice for reading tags. mp3togo should
be able to read as many types of file as possible. It only needs to
write mp3 and ogg files (and wavs, but no tags there) so the writing
end can be simple, it may even be done already.

There is much room for improving the reading end, especially as we now
have an input type we can't read tags from yet.

I used find to track down a test .m4a file from my archive. I had over
800 of them. I didn't realize I had so many, it's been too
inconvenient to convert them for playing. There are some gems
streaming onto my player right now, thanks again for the patch.
