Musepack SV7 support?

[iconoclasthero]

It looks like mpc/musepack should be straightforward to include in tinytag, e.g., it is supported in mediainfo:

$ mediainfo "/library/music/01-new.music/R.L. Burnside -- Burnside on Burnside (2001) (mpc)/R.L. Burnside -- 01 - Shake 'em on Down.mpc"

It isn't my preferred codec but rather than converting a lossy format it seemed better to leave as is, however in my mpdlog.py script, I get:

$ mpdlog.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/x/bin/mpdlog.py", line 22, in <module> tag = TinyTag.get(line2) File "/home/x/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tinytag/tinytag.py", line 127, in get parser_class = cls._get_parser_for_filename(filename, exception=True) File "/home/x/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tinytag/tinytag.py", line 118, in _get_parser_for_filename raise TinyTagException('No tag reader found to support filetype! ') tinytag.tinytag.TinyTagException: No tag reader found to support filetype!

Obviously, I can work around to have it filter out .mpc files prior to evaluating with TinyTag but it would be great if support could be added!

Recently I only find the time to write FLOSS code when I travel e.g. on a plane, so I guess I need to take a vacaction far away to get this done...

Anyway, the actual format to handle here is the APE Tags in version 1 or 2

While tinytag mainly targets common audio formats, adding support for APEv2 tags would essentially give us Monkey's Audio, Musepack, OptimFROG and WavPack support for free. It seems like a worthwhile addition if someone wants to do the work.
