Select the files you want to fix and right click (or ctrl click) to get the sub menu. Log out, log back in, and then start up itunes. From there, make Korean be the language to be used. Once they are done, go to the system prefs, International panel. Go ahead and import the files as you normally would. I have spent some time looking for a solution and this is the best one I came up with: I am converting from XP to OS X and upon importing all of my mp3s, i lost all of my Korean text. Hi I had the same problem on my computer. I am positive that it doesn't happen if you just run it under EnglishPS: I don't deal with other Asian ID3 tags so I am not sure if the same can work with respective localizations. * iTunes sometimes already handles some Japanese tags (with encodings other than UTF-8) right if you launch it under Japanese localization.

I believe by doing this you should end up having 100% Unicode tags, not too sure though. By this method you can ensure the switched tags will absolutely display right even after you launch iTunes under English localization. Make sure you add something to the tag and then click OK, and cmd+i again and change it back to the "right" tag (so iTunes saves TWICE). Usually I just put a character at the back or start of the field. What you have to do now is to go into the ID3 info of each mp3 (cmd+i), within each and every field that has Japanese text, change it to something else and then change back so that iTunes will save the right one at the end. Anyway, what you just did in step3, the "ASCII to ISO" was just a "display switch", the ID3 itself hasn't been edited yet. May be some Applescripts for renaming can help but not by much. This step is a bit tedious and I haven't gotten a work around yet. Click OK and the tags should convert to be "displaying right" at least (legiable).Ĥ) we are not done yet.

Check the 2nd checkbox, and click the first radio button which is ASCII to ISO Latin-1. Now gibberish may or not appear*.ģ) whichever the case, right click on the mp3(s), click the one with "ID3" in the text (it would be "Convert ID3 Tags." in English environment). If it isn't there yet, click "Edit" and find the checkbox for it and check it, go back out and it will be thereĢ) launch iTunes, import said mp3s like you would usually. Do it in System Preference -> International -> Language (1st tab), drag "Nihongo" to the top of the list.

(applies when you have gibberish ID3 tags of Japanese mp3s with shift jis encoding, typically ripped/tagged by Windows users)ġ) (iTunes must not be opened for this step)Change your OS X app UI language into Japanese (localization). Not sure about other Unicode ID3 tags, but I have been dealing with Japanese tags specifically s-jis ones enough to find this work around: Hope this helps others with mis-encoded tags. My friends use this too, and it seems to work great.

Important: make sure the iTunes on your PC isn't copying files to its own music library by checking the prefs.

Then when iTunes on the Mac refreshes the songs, the new tags will show up. However, if I first load the songs in iTunes for Windows, then I right-click the song (or multiple songs) then convert ID3 tag version to 2.4, it seems to work perfectly when I transfer them back to the Mac.Īlso, you can do this through a network (leaving all the songs in your Mac's iTunes playlists) by adding the songs if you don't want to move the songs to your PC (it'll take a bit longer). I've been using my iBook for music now for over a year now, but most of my music will not be encoded correctly by iTunes. This is not a solution for everyone since it requires the Windows version of iTunes, but it's a good way to fix the problem for those of you that do. If you listen to Korean/Chinese/Japanese music through iTunes, but get scrambles instead of the correct unicode set, this may help.
