geoff reported back off-list (see message at head of thread re: email 
problems) that this was indeed the problem.  So - if you've used the 
windows installer and find that your M4A files don't have any tags, 
follow the advice above and ensure that C:\Program 
Files\get_iplayer\atomicparsley\AtomicParsley.exe has been installed. 
If not, download from Sourceforge and copy it into place yourself.
