AAC support about mutagen HOT 8 CLOSED

Original comment by Christoph Reiter (Bitbucket: lazka, GitHub: lazka):

My motivation for this was to allow identifying/loading those files in Quod Libet for playback only. I'll look into what other programs do with them.

Ok, thanks for the info. I personally would use the MP4 container anyway, but I asked for MusicBrainz Picard, and there are people using ADTS for various reasons.

I've found files with ID3v2/APEv2 and both at once. There is no official format as far as I know, but you can use the ID3/APEv2 classes to read/write tags for ADTS files.

I'd recommend putting them in an MP4 container:

gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=a.aac ! aacparse ! mp4mux ! filesink location=a.mp4

Is there actualy some tagging that is commonly used for ADTS files? MP3Tag seems to write Apev2 to those files (see http://forums.mp3tag.de/index.php?showtopic=11344), maybe this could also be supported in mutagen.

Add ADTS/AAC file type. (Fixes issue #15)

• Currently doesn't support ADIF
• No tagging, but will skip id3v2
• Will read the first 100 frames and guess the length/bitrate

Most aac files are ADTS, so closing the issue.

adts parser attached.

I'm not sure if we should rename it to AAC instead and parse ADIF/RAW as well. Input welcome.
