Okay, let me know if this belongs somewhere else.

I recently obtained a digital copy of LCD Soundsystem's new album Sound of Silver, and it is excellent, except that one of the tracks refuses to allow me to modify its ID3 tag. I have already look at its ownership status and set all users to read/write -- although I already had permission to do that. When I look at the "Info" page for the track in iTunes, the edit page has the kind of shallow depth that indicates it is locked from change, and will not allow me to place my cursor in the text fields. Also, when I attempted to use one of Doug's AppleScripts to change the case to Proper English title capitalization, it gave me a popup simply stating "parameter error" when it reached said track.

Any ideas?

Have you tried duplicating the file to see if you can change the duplicate? +D
