Adding metadata to an iTunes file using the QuickTime Metadata APIs

Q: I'm trying to add metadata to an iTunes file (.m4a) using the QuickTime Metadata APIs and save it to the file with the UpdateMovieResource function, but this doesn't seem to work. Please help.

A: The QuickTime Metadata APIs currently only save metadata to a QuickTime movie (.mov) file. Other file formats are not supported.
