I am looking for information to add ISAN code into my MP4 files.
under what TAG should I add ISAN code?
in Apple files... it looks like the ISAN code is added under Vendor.
but i cannot find any reference in mp3tag for Vendor tag.
Vendor : buenavista:isan:0000-0000-4C2E-0000-N-0000-0001-3

my understanding is that they are not the same.
SRC codes are always 12 characters long, in the form "CC-XXX-YY-NNNNN"

ISAN is 26 characters, in the form 0000-0000-03B6-0000-O-0000-0000-2
