For example, I right-click on a song and the "properties" window opens. I change a field, for example "title", and then click "close". A window opens saying "Error while saving song information. File corrupted during write." The title is unchanged in the song, as can be seen in the Rhythmbox window and can be verified with another program like Easytag. Additional details that might be useful: * The permissions on the m4a file are -rw-rw-rw- * Though the error window says the "File corrupted during write", the m4a file is in fact not even modified * There is no problem with mp3 files; for example, the process described above can be used successfully to change the title of an mp3 song * I used to be able to edit m4a tags in Ubuntu 12.10; this problem arose when I upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Although there exist other programs to tag m4a files, they do not provide a useable work-around. If you use such a program to change an m4a tag, then the music library comes inconsistent with Rhythmbox's "rhythmdb.xml" database. Thanks for your help.
