Strange file name on an mp3

I imported a series of audio files and 4 of those files are named Æ®·¢ 1 When I go to the get info, the name of the file is there, but under the more info section the strange characters are shown. I am unable to rename the file. The strange characters also show in Itunes when I try to play the files, which play with no problems. Anyone know what this is, and if there is a fix?

Hello th3bt,


After reviewing your post, it sounds like the info of the song is in different symbols and you are not able to change them. Where did you download the songs from? were they purchased from the iTunes Store? If you try to change the information what happens?


"iTunes retrieves CD information from the Gracenote media database. See the Gracenote website."
