AAC / ADTS encapsulation for foobar with FFmpeg

Hi everybody,

I edited and saved an aac file using mp3DirectCut.
The resulting aac file will play in foobar, but with no tagging info (no duration, no bitrate, etc.).
Mediainfo shows that the General Format Info is ADTS (Audio Data Transport Stream) and the Audio Format Info is AAC.

I tried encapsulating it in m4a with ffmpeg, with the following command line :
FOR %%F IN (*.aac) DO "C:\Program Files\FFmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe" -i "%%F" -acodec copy "%%F.m4a"
However it made things even worse : the resulting m4a doesn't even play in foobar.

You will find attached the aac file. I would like to encapsulate it (without reencoding obviously) to make it work properly within foobar.
Can you please help me ? What would be the proper ffmpeg command line if there is one ?

Thanks.
