I'm using MP4Box to tag some AAC audio files (using the **-itags option**) and I'm having difficulty getting the Genre metadata to display in the players that I've tested the files in.

The other metadata fields are showing up across all players, but Genre does not show in iTunes, Windows Media Player, VLC, or Audacity. Editing the internal "tag" of the genre from "©gnr" to "©gen" allows the Genre to show in Windows Media Player, VLC, and Audacity, but it still does not display in iTunes. This change is a binary edit, and I haven't found a way to do this in MP4Box.

Is there another way that we need to add Genre metadata so it shows consistently across all players?

**Environment:**
