as long as you seem to be knowledgeable about idtags, let me ask another
question.

I've been ripping my DVD's into mp4 on Linux. I tried setting idtags but
when I import them into iTunes, it seems the tags are completely
discarded. iTunes tag editing functions are a bit lacking. Are you
familiar with idtags and mp4 files and iTunes?
