russian language songs in iTunes

Hello here, I got a *russian mp3 disk* and all the song names appear fine in the Finder. However when I trag them into iTunes the track, names, album names are changed into wrong cyrillic letters.

Is there a way to change that or any software that translates those letters into the correct russian ones?

*Thnk you,*

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

Hi, I do experience the same problem. I have got thousands of Russian songs which i'd like to use through iTunes 7.6 but not changing their names one by one.

The point is that on Windows iTunes 7.6 does recognize cyrillic, but since recent i am happy (eeeehaaaa) MacBook Pro user, and on Mav it somehow doesn't work.

Cheers, Aurel

Oh I see, well I found out that not all Russian/Cyrillic names are tagged. That's from the end of people who burned the disks. Usually unprofessional people don's use any good tags to make their songs Universally readable. Even in my VW the mp3 cds wouldn't read the same CD, but other ones do.

Congrats on that macbook pro.
thx

I have the same problem.
In example if I am listening to Radio Sibir the only I can see are following fonts:
"–‡‰ËÓ —Ë·Ë¸ (High Quality)" in name field...
Well...

Hi Nina, I actually found out that there is one programme which is very useful for the cases we have. It is called ID3Mod. Google it!
