ITunes support for foriegn character encoding

A friend burned two mix cds for me to listen two on my move back to the US from Korea. The songs are korean and have korean title/album information. I thought I would import the songs into my iBook. When I add them to my library, however, a majority of them have unintelligible song information. Only about 25-30% of the songs import successfully in korean font.
Finder reads the cd no problems. Looking through the disc shows all information clearly. Drop them into iTunes, however (or selecting "add to library"), and they get scrambled.
I'm guessing this is a character encoding issue. I don't know where my friend got the tracks from, so I'll have to assume he got them from sources which copied them using different encoding methods. But if Finder can support them all, why can't iTunes? Is there a way I can adjust character support in iTunes? Or should I be looking at something else?

Try setting the Encoding of your Outputstream to UTF-8.

    Dear Mr. King_Penguin,
    Apologies in advance. I am an absolute newbie, and couldn't figure out how to "send" this other than checking your recent activity. I'm certain you get plenty "Thank you's". (This is another, -so please begin to skip here if the accolades are a nuisance!!) I promise that before I plague you w/ questions I will read as much as possible of what you've already "posted".
    I've used IOS devices for years- yet I am still very much a beginner, especially searching for ways to utilize my devices to a "greater extent".  My ios phobias began when I was gifted an iPod; terrified using "iTunes" on PC laptop, certain that syncing specific things would result in loss of data, cold sweats when a new "IOS Update" arrived, shock horror and awe at the entirely foreign & colourfully creative world of "Apple Language". Today my sadly underused iPad (4th Gen.) froze. The first go-to "reboot" wasn't working and the only thing on the device I had access to was Siri- and we really don't get along or talk very often...  On June 10th 2012 (4:10am) you posted & responded to a query.  (A "soft-reset"?!! Brilliant!) That post, saved me from pitching all my devices into the bin, today-three years later. After wasting hours fiddling w/o hope, I dipped a toe back in to Apple.com "support communities". I found your post quickly. Not at all the case (for me, with my ingrained "PC lingo") in the past. So, I thank you one thousand times, I've no idea why there exist tech angels such as yourself, why you do what they do for free, w/ no obvious benefits or profit-but I'm a "follower" now. Apologies once more for posting this here- I will go back to the newbie section and try to figure out all the things I should know to avoid future etiquette faux-pas. Sincerest thanks!!

  • Highly Annoyed: No iTunes Support for iPod Nano 5's (new) Recording Ability

    Re iPod Nano 5th: does anyone else out there find it to be a p-ss-off that, now that it records videos, voice and steps (well-done!), the iTunes application gives little or no support for any of them? Clear to me: iPod WAS just a playback machine, and iTunes fed it the media, one-way only. But the Nano 5th is now a 3-part recorder, and is Apple going to change iTunes or supplement it to make it a two-way application? Disk use doesn't cut it - and often conflicts with use of the iTunes Sync button (which I use for my songs library). Cases-in-point: I've taken camera videos that I can no longer find on my iPod, even though their files are still in the iPod DCIM folder! For Voice 'memos' (great for recording just about any dialogue or talk), I have first to make sure that the playlist "Voice Memos" in my iTunes library has the same 5 recordings I have on and want to keep on my iPod before I do a manual Sync to transfer the CD songs I've just added to iTunes and want on my iPod. I have spent hours trying to establish a 'disk use' method get back a recording that's disappeared from the iPod's Recordings folder (done by iTunes without my say-so).
    Because I'm new to using iPod and iTunes, I've turned to the 104-page User Guide for the Nano 5th. Is anyone else annoyed that it's upbeat language completely skirts Apple's gaping hole of incompleteness in software support for the new recording functions of Nano 5th? Is it dishonest? Pity the Apple underlings forced to write it, knowing Apple iPod execs f--ked up by failing to develop iTunes/software support in tandem with the new iPod wizardry. Back to my question: is this bugging anyone else, and do you have any insight to lend me?
    McGoosteraneous ly (a stupid name for an unstupid guy)

    I will check out Apple Knowledge Base though. URL is?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search
    *The Apple staff are unlikely to help me with "all my issues"* if they lead me thru indirect ways to manage camera videos and recordings and not thru dedicated software that Apple has overlooked to develop along with the Nano 5th.
    You will not know this until you get there. If you do not want to march on down to the store then call iPod support.
    "Complaining" in these forums is falling on deaf ears. Apple will not respond nor do they read these postings because these are user-to-user forums where everyday folk post questions and offer answers to each other.
    If you have a problem with the way Apple has intergrated the iPod Nano with iTunes, post them on Apple's Product Feedback website.

  • Itunes support for ION based atom dual core

    Hello,
    Hi I have built a very nice quiet low power media centre based on the acer 3610 dual atom/Ion graphics. It can run 1080p smoothly with boxee, firefox/BBc iplayer, and MPC-HC. What I cant do is use Itunes to download the many excellent HD programmes in the store; it doesnt take advantage of the ion hardware and the atom just cant cut it alone.
    Will Apple ever provide support for this market? seems there could be significant revenue stream being overlooked.
    cheers,
