Are ID3 tags (or similar tags) embedded in AAC or MP4 files?

Thanks

Well, I found out the answer to my own question, if anyone else was also wondering.

iTunes puts a QuickTime wrapper on the AAC file that contains the artist, title, track number, etc. information. So...this ends up being a really cool deal. I transferred that file to a friend who imported it into his iTunes, which then beautifully displayed the title, artist, track, etc.

I had feared that AppleMusic had some freaky connection with iTunes, so that they didn't have to include that information with the music file itself. Glad I was wrong.

Also...these files were saved with a ".m4a" extension, which had to be changed to ".mp4" if I want to also use them under QuickTime on my Windows box.
