I am trying to change an album title in the Music app. If I select the song and select Song, Info, I can change the album name. The next time I open the song either by playing it or selecting Song, Info, it reverts back to the original incorrect title.
I have looked and when I edit the title it changes the file on disk, so it appears to work. Then it changes it back to the original name, directory etc.
I've spent aIt's infuriating!
I tried this and it worked, but then I had the same problem with another song. I had checked the permissions and it all seemed OK as well. Eventually I took the top level music directory and changed permissions/ownership of that and all contents to me and I have no more issues.
Thank you.

Hello AppleFrigger,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities. We understand that after editing a song title, then playing or selecting the song it reverts back to the original name. In your troubleshooting, did you try deleting the song, adding it back, then editing the name again to see if a fresh copy helps? If not, do that now: Delete songs and other items in Music on Mac
If that doesn't help, let us know more:
The more details you can provide the better.
Take care.
Can't change album title in Music app!
