Would it be possible to have an option to disable the MP4 `chpl` chapter generation (mentioned in your comment [here](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/44312/6)) introduced with v2.92? It's very minor, but it means my media player (MPC-HC) now shows

```
Title Song Name
Chapter Song Name (1/1)
Artist Artist Name

```

in its info box instead of just the title and artist lines. Of course, the chapters are easily removed with "Strip MP4 chapters" context option, but not adding them on file save would be more convenient for my use case.

I've changed this behavior with [Mp3tag v2.93a](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455), so that no `chpl` atom is created automatically if Apple gapless data is found.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
