Hi Alastair - you can use the CLI to tag .m4a filres

Hi Vangelis,
Totally brilliant I have been able to tag all the files not yet moved to
NAS so very many thanks. It will take me a while to find and tag the
rest but meanwhile a couple of supplementary questions please.
I have a podcast which is saved as mp3 file. What is the command for
tagging this please?
Similarly I have some video mp4 files which were not tagged. Again what
is command line for tagging these please?
Many thanks once more.
Budge.
