I am using windows 2000 SP3 and foobar v0.52!

Sorry I took so long to reply. I have been a bit busy

OK... I tried it without the "®" and I still get the same problem. I then tried the following in the following comment tag

comment tag=
"This is gonna be a very long tag This is gonna be a very long tag This is gonna be a very long tag This is gonna be a very long tag This is gonna be a very long tag This is gonna be a very long tag This is gonna be a very long tag This is gonna be a very long tag This is gonna be a very long tag This is gonna be a very long tag This is gonna be a very long tag This is gonna be a very long tag"

I get the same error with this tag to. So I thought it has to be something with the length. After some time and testing, I discovered that the maximum length of the tag can not exceed 128. 129 or more characters will cause an error.

Can someone please confirm this error by copying and pasting the following 128 characters in the quotations marks, do not include the quotation marks. The spaces also count as characters.

Data for comment tag:
"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 0123456789 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 0123456789
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 0123456789 abcdefghijklmn".

This should cause no problem.

You should be able to play this file fine!

Now... add 1 more character at the end of the comment tag and you should see the error!

So, is this a problem with foobars tagging ability or is it a restriction of the mp4 format???

Yes, "ak" found out the same in the meantime, so it's definitely the line length, not the characters.



Well, 128 bytes for a maximum line length is a typical limit of the DOS format that I know e.g. from my DOS based mail/news reader. So I don't know where this limitation hides, but I would guess it's somewhere in foo_mp4.dll, because otherwise all users of foobar2000 would have reported this earlier. I also don't know where Menno hides , but he'll probably fix this as soon as possible.

Latest version of foo_mp4 should fix tagging problems.

Seems to work!

Edit: Even 6 channel mp4 files seem to work perfectly with tagging and replaygain!!!

Hi, beta version of Media Tagger is released.
Can you work with mpc, aac, flac, ogg, mp3, ape files.

ID3V2 is pretty heavily criticized for technical reasons, so I see no need to use it.

I am not aware of any downside to APEV2 tags. Is it too critical to ask we stop making more 'standards' and actually, well, use a ‘standard?’

Why in the world do we need this many tag 'standards?'

To sum it up, would all of you codec guys please give strong consideration to just using APEV2?

Thanks for your hard work,

hi all,

I'd like to know a couple of things about mp4/aac tagging.

First are tags made in foobar compatible with Quicktime, I know any proper aac player can at least skip them, but can qt read them? Also is there a command line tagger available, or maybe a gui? because tagging files one by one in foobar seems long...

Does Nero tag the AAC/MP4 files it creates?

And finally does anyone know of an iPod transfer utillity that can read those tags?

Thanks
