Description

Apparently, some iTunes version around 12.5 changed the "grouping" field to map to the ID3 tag `GRP1`, while it was previously `TIT1`. It now uses `TIT1` for the work title. Picard apparently has [a special config option just to deal with this mapping](https://picard.musicbrainz.org/docs/mappings/#cite_note-lastfmplugin-2). There's more info in [a post on the mp3tag forum](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/work-grouping-fields-itunes-12-5/18659/5).

Research direction

Review the repository's ID3 mapping handling and the linked iTunes and Picard references first; no source file or test is named in the issue. Done means current iTunes files map grouping through GRP1 and work through TIT1 without breaking the previous behavior.
