All I can say is that this has always worked for me. I just confirmed
that with two files, one from my collection, one from a location that is
not being indexed by Amarok. I changed a tag, and used EasyTag to verify
that the tag has been changed.

Metadata like the score is a different thing. There is a setting to write
these data into the file, but that only happens when the file comes from
your collection. If you open a file from outside the collection, metadata
can be changed, but it is remembered in the database only, and gets lost
when the file is moved to another location.
