ITunes (any version) can not handle Thai MP3 tags

Hi there,
I need some brain thrust here... I have a great deal of mp3 cd's that I have bought in Thailand during the last many years. When opening the cds and looking at the files it looks great and I can read the thai script that are in the tags. When inporting it into iTunes (any version) all tags turns into garbage. Example:
in finder this one looks great:
01-เมื่อถูกความรักหาเจอ จั๊กจั่น วันวิสา.mp3
drop it into iTunes and it crashes all the tags and the file name - I think we're talking a dual byte character set conversion bug here:
01 àÁ◊èͶ١€ÇÒÁÃÑ¡ËÒà¨Í ¨ÑꡨÑè_ ÇÑ_ÇÔÊÒ.mp3
It looks just as bad in iTunes as well
This goes for all the meta tag versions as far as I am concerned.
Any ideas folks ?
Best regards

This should not need to be a problem - in my opinion - we're living in 2009..:-)
Unfortunately there is still a lot of legacy encoded material around, and I suspect it will be awhile before everything comes in the Unicode standard. If you think iTunes should be modified to handle old stuff, or has a bug, you can tell Apple here:

  • ITunes (any versions) will not open on Mac OSX 10.5.5

    It started a couple of weeks ago, that when i go to open iTunes, the icon bounces in the dashboard but then stops, if i click the icon then it says the application is not responding, I've looked at most other quires on here before posting this so i don't think the answer is here yet, but hopefully someone can help me.

    The mp3 file referenced in the feed works OK in a browser. Nothing obvious is evident in the code you post, but please post the actual URL of the feed rather than its contents - it's not possible to test any further without knowing that - and also the URL of your iTunes Store page (found by control-clicking on the podcast image and choosing 'Copy Link') (assuming you have had your podcast accepted in the Store and are not just subscribing manually in iTunes).

  • Itunes 8 can not convert to mp3

    I just updated to itunes 8 and now I can not convert to mp3 anymore! The CREATE mp3 version is greyed out and I can not pick it. I have checked and the import mp3 option is checked in the settings.

    Howdy!
    also, it appears that Apple did not update the "iTunes Help" screens when they made iTunes 8 -- those screens still refer to the "advanced" tab in preferences, even though the importing functions are no longer located there:
    THEY READ as follows:
    *Choosing import settings*
    You can choose the encoding format and other settings that iTunes uses to import songs. Your choices affect the audio quality and size of the song file (the higher the quality, the larger the file size).
    To choose import options:
    Choose iTunes > Preferences and click Import Settings.
    ETC. Well, at least they didn't do an iMove-style "revamp" to iTunes.! 8)

    The first thing that has to be done with a new iPad is to activate it via iTunes. What version of iTunes, and what spec computer, have you got ? The iPad's minimum requirements are (from http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/)  :
    Mac :
    Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    iTunes 10.2 or later recommended
    (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    iTunes Store account
    Internet access
    PC :
    PC with USB 2.0 port
    Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.2 or later recommended
    (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    iTunes Store account

    If you still have an issue you may have to see about using the iTunes version (application) included with Snow Leopard 10.6 from the installer or an another one if available online, and see if that will install.
    Sometimes you may have uninstall the bits left in your system by the earlier (or later) iTunes installers; as they all leave a trace and these can stop a different version of iTunes from being installed.
    Not sure if the following site/link will tell the method...

    Unless you have attempted to downgrade to an older version of iTunes this is likely to be a sign of a corrupt library. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

    Hello Alex_boi941,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    I'm sorry to hear that your iPhone's power button is not functioning correctly.  To be able to get full functionality of your phone, it would need to be repaired.

  • I have a new Mac and I migrated mi old one to this. I can not open iTunes because a message stating "iTunes Library.itl" can not be opened because it was created in more recent version of iTunes. There is not a new version to download.

    I have a new Mac and I migrated mi old one to this. I can not open iTunes because a message stating "iTunes Library.itl" can not be opened because it was created in more recent version of iTunes. There is not a new version to download. How can I fix this?                             

    Go to iTunes > about iTunes.  What version are you running?  If necessary, hold down the option key while starting iTunes and create a new, test library so it will start.

  • In my Itunes account, I can not see my list of songs in my files, nor can I look for individual songs in the Itunes store. Basically, anywhere there are list, I can not see them. What can I do to fix this problem?

    I am having trouble with my Itunes account on Windows XP . I can not see any list in my music files. The songs are there but I have to click on each song to see what it is. Also, in the itunes store, I can not see any pull down list or use my search bar. This happened when Itunes updated it's look. I can pull it up on my phone and see all of my purchased music. I would really appreciate knowing how to fix this problem. Thank you.

    Nevermind - I answered my own question, which is I CAN"T READ ANY BOOKS I purchased in iBooks on my MacBook Pro.  If I want to read on my mac I have to use Kindle or Nook.  Which means any book I've already purchased through iBooks has to be read on my iPad.  Kind of a drag because there are times when it's more convenient for me to read while I'm sitting with my Mac.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Performance issue is most probably caused by the fact that IE can not handle such amount of requests ? is it ?

    Hi,
    I'm running web applications and there is performance issue is most probably caused by the fact that IE can not handle such amount of requests that are forwarded to the server at the same time.
    Data:
    On IE(10) – search variety 11- it takes a long time (about 25 seconds for response) .
    in general, the responding time of "search variety" in IE is much longer than Chrome.
    IE - see:http://screencast.com/t/kSeT3hC2mRfV
    Chrome see:http://screencast.com/t/NYf6fskU
    Why? any solution ?

    Hi,
    without a link to your site (so we can use the same tools mentioned above)... we can only guess.
    these are peer to peer support forums... your favorite web search engine will help you to learn about web development.
    display the Developer tool console in each browser to view the suppressed error messages.
    All modern browsers support the performance api or your can use the Networking tab to view the latency metrics for the site.... commonly you may be using meta directives for caching instead of server headers or you have different settings between browsers
    which determine how long resources are cached. Commonly, IE has a different security model to other browsers... ensure that you are using the Default IE security zone settings.... Actions like innerHTML go through a sanitization process to remove script content...
    Commonly AJAX calls are made during the onload event...

  • Credit card clearing is active- Trip version can not be deleted

    Hi Gurus,
          while deleting a trip which is not transfered to FI, we are getting the error message as " Credit card clearing is active- Trip version can not be deleted" Message number 56558.
        1) what could be the reason for this error message.?
        2)How to find whether credit clearing is active or not?
        3) If it is active what is the process to delete the trip?
                 Could you Please explain ........
    Thanks & regds
    Ramachandra

    Are you absolutely sure credit card clearing is not active?
    Basically you need to check tcode PE03 > TRVPA > decision tree > select your molga eg "10" for US and then highlight "CCC" if it has values, 1, 2 or 3 then it is being checked. You need to make sure that it is set to "0" ..is TRVPA itself active?
    2) you can look at the trip itself in PR05 and see if there is a credit card trip assigned, in the backend there is a little icon for "credit card receipts" which takes the receipts from the buffer
    You can delete incorrectly assigned credit card receipts from trips at any time , just basically delete the receipt and it writes it back to the buffer
    This wiki link is really comprehensive for CC receipts >
