Encoding Metadata in File URLs

Some automator actions support encoding metadata as name/value pairs
in the URL query string. This metadata will override any values
input through the action's user interface. Reserved characters in a
supplied value must be percent-encoded (see RFC 3986). Valid metadata
tag names are:

tagName, tagArtist, tagAlbumArtist, tagAlbum, tagGrouping, tagComposer,
tagDescription, tagLongDescription, tagReleaseDate, tagTVShow,
tagTVNetwork, tagTVEpisodeID, tagSortName, tagSortArtist,
tagSortAlbumArtist, tagSortAlbum, tagSortComposer, tagSortTVShow,
tagCopyright, tagEncodingTool, tagEncodedBy, tagPurchaseDate,
tagKeywords, tagCategory, tagLyrics, tagComments, tagTempo,
tagTVEpisodeNumber, tagTVSeasonNumber, tagCompilation, tagHDVideo,
tagGaplessPlayback, tagGenre, tagContentRating, tagMediaType,
tagTrackNumber, tagTrackTotal, tagDiscNumber, tagDiscTotal, tagArtwork

tagGenre can be a number indicating any of the defined iTunes or ID3v1
genres and a string can be used to indicate a custom genre.

tagContentType must be a number: 0 - None; 2 - Clean; 4 - Explicit

tagMediaType is a number or string indicating the media type: 0 - None;
1 - Music; 2 - Audiobook; "pcst" - Podcast; "itnu" - iTunes U;
6 - Music Video; 9 - Movie; 10 - TV Show; 11 - Booklet; 14 - Ringtone

tagArtwork should be a file URL for a BMP, JPEG, GIF, or PNG image that
is suitable for inserting as artwork. This must be percent-encoded
(see RFC 3986).
