mp4 with ID3v1 not parsable by foobar

I found this old post: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....st&p=550726 for tagging files for Nokia and it works well, but then files aren't parsable by foobar: Unsupported format or corrupted file (invalid or incomplete data)

I then found this site: http://teknoraver.net/software/mp4tools/#nokiatagger and tagged my files after compiling that little program, but same result

Now, I don't plan to play those files with foobar, but curious as Winamp, MPC, VLC plays them fine

MP4 with ID3v1 is plainly broken.

Interestingly, if mp4 tracks are added in mp4 container:
Code: [Select]
for %%v in (*.mp4) do mp4box -cat %%v out.mp4

then changing tag in new mp4 to ID3v1, tracks are perfectly readable by foobar (like mp4 with chapters)

[edit] it seems that foobar fails to read mp4 file with ID3v1 tag when there is %title% tag, as in above case only %artist% and %album% were added, so mp4 with ID3v1 tag is readable if %title% is not added as ID3v1 (feels strange thou)
