VLC doesnt play some MP3 files

[petehuu]

I have WinXP SP2 and VLC v0.8.6b
Other players (WMP, MPC) can play these files, but VLC not.
I upload one of these files (05-Mr. Zebra.mp3 1.3MB) to
ftp://streams.videolan.org/incoming/
Whats the problem?

It seems that VLC cant handle all TAGs in MP3 file

320kbps ?

[petehuu]

No, these are 128Kbps.
Please check file "05-Mr. Zebra.mp3", i uploaded it to ftp://streams.videolan.org/incoming/

Last row "Nothing to play" ???
Correct duration of song is 1min 07secs

These files have three ID3 tags, ID3v1, ID3v2.3 and ID3v2.4.
It seems that VLC can handle only one ID3 tag in MP3-file.
