Song titles look scrambled after converting ID3 tags

Some applications don't translate Unicode characters correctly, resulting in garbled song titles when you convert the ID3 tags. If your song information becomes garbled after converting the song's ID3 tags, you can change the song title back to the title it had previously.

To reverse the Unicode characters:

  1. Select the song and choose Advanced > Convert ID3 Tags.
  2. To select multiple adjacent songs, press the Shift key while you click the song titles. To select multiple songs that are not adjacent, press the Command key and click.

  3. Click Translate Text Characters, and then choose Reverse Unicode.

To change the information back to what you had before, choose Translate Text Characters again.
