I’m new to the forum but have been using MP3Tag. I never had an issue up until recent with update v3.33.1. Editing old M4A files that apple music once imported fine is now not importing to apple music. Example SongB prior imported into apple music fine ,SongB now with a small change such as title now no longer imports into apple music. I returned the prior song before editing in MP3Tag and it imported fine. I retested by just changing the song number and once again apple music failed to import the song. Sorry if this wasn’t explained well!

**Apple Music 1.6.2.94 (1.1538.24068.0) - Mp3Tag v3.33.1**

There are some fixes for the MP4 format in the new beta versions, you could check if it works.

What does that mean?  
You do not see the modification?  
The file disappears from your player?  
The file is still there but does not show any tag data anymore?

Thank you for the video and the example files.

Can you check what happens if you remove `ITUNESMEDIATYPE` which is currently set to Movie from this audio track via Extended Tags at Alt+T?

No problem, and glad it's working again.

Just for reference: the before version had `ITUNESMEDIATYPE` also set to "Movie" but used the old value `0` internally. On rewrite, this got updated to value `9`, which is the currently used value to indicate "Movie" in Apple Music.
