Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.6) Installed from: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux Amarok is unable to change tags of iTunes generated AAC files. (it errors on save so a bugreport was in order)
I've got the same problem here. I bought a couple of DRM-free songs from iTunes but I cannot change any tags with Amarok (probably a libtag problem?). As a work-around I use easytag.
From our README: * libmp4v2 (mpeg4ip 1.5 is recommended, faad2 is less reliable) (MP4/AAC tag reading & writing) http://www.sf.net/projects/mpeg4ip http://www.audiocoding.com So you see, Amarok must be built with libmp4v2 to gain AAC write support. Ask your favorite distro packager.

If you'd like to see it uploaded rather sooner than later, and are a bit familiar with Debian packaging, you can help out by filling the missing bits of: % svn co svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-multimedia/uniways/mpeg4ip/ I think it's mostly the control and copyright files that need help. Mail your changes to Sam Hocevar <sam+deb@zoy.org>. Cheers,

Mail > your changes to Sam Hocevar <sam+deb@zoy.org>. I just saw mpeg4ip is already packaged by Christian Marillat on debian-multimedia.org. Would it be alright to use his control and copyright files? I do know the general structure of a Debian package but I've never actually made one myself. Cheers, Arnout
