MAX - I am getting an error when coverting FLAC to AIFF - A little help please

[Sam Spade]

hello people,

 

i am using MAX to covert FLAC to AIFF and am getting an error. MAX has always worked great for me, with this being the first issue i have had.

 

the error msg. reads: An error occurred while tagging the file [insert name of song].aiff

iTunes got and error: File permission error.

 

how do i fix this?

Hello wgscott,

 

When you say write protect do you mean is my iTunes library authorized or do you mean is my library encrypted?

 

I downloaded some free legal FLAC files.

 

I have no idea if there is another user name attached to the file, but I do not see why there would be. How can I check this? Is it embedded in the metadata?

 

Interestingly, I did the same conversion in XLD and there was no such error.

 

How do I correct the error in MAX?

 

Thank you for your help.

I have been using MAX for a while and know it well. XLD is new to me, so I am unsure of all the ins and outs. But yes, MAX it is old. Also, I was wondering if the music file was bad in some way, or if the file had been f'd with, or worse - there is an issue with my iTunes library.
