What has happend on the way between the source and your target?
There are a number of threads that deal with write problems to m4a files.
Perhaps you find indicators that help you to overcome your problem. Just as examples:
I had (i think id3v1) tags in my files, i then used itunes to download cover art and embed it using scripts.
the cover art worked in itunes and nokia music player, but not on my 5800 symbian 60v5

"File xxx.m4a cannot be opened for writing"
As a quick test, I created the m4a file using FAAC and it worked fine. Is there a bug with a Nero encoded file?
