> Hi, I've been using mp3tag for years to organise my mp3 files and I trust it implicitly. I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that mp3tag could also handle tagging in my m4a files. Unfortunately I did not notice that it was silently truncating my comment tags. This is very disappointing ... I feel this is more an application limit than a file format limit, as itunes truncates the displayed comment text to 256 chars for all file formats ...

Read there, perhaps it explains the situation ...
