Correcting song titles with odd characters

If a song's title and information don't appear correctly, the file was probably created using a program that stores information differently than iTunes. You may be able to resolve the problem by converting the song information to or from a different storage format.

Converting the ID3 tags is also useful for songs with information in languages that use non-Roman characters, or if you want to use your MP3 files with another program that uses a different format.

To change the format of the song information tags: Select the songs you want to convert, then choose Convert ID3 Tags from the Advanced menu. You can choose a version of ID3, and you can convert the character set to other formats.

If converting tags does not remove the odd characters, you can edit the song information by hand. For more information, click "Tell me more."
