Rhythmbox 3.2.1 Cannot Edit AAC Metadata

Last night I downloaded a song in AAC (Advanced Audio Codec, .aac) and they play fine in Rhythmbx 3.2.1.

But if you want to edit the tag, as was the case, it cannot be done in Rhythmbox 3.2.1 (Linux 64-bit) because the software doesn't have the function to edit .aac tags yet.
MP3 ID3 tags. Yes. AAC tags. No.

When opening AAC files, they will play, but the some of the tag metadata shows "Unknown", just like in this post to a web forum

At this time I am not sure whether the newer Rhythmbox ver. 3.4 has added this functionality yet. I am unwilling to switch to anothe music player because I am happy using Rhythmbox since 2005.
