Hello again =)
I have a little question. I have 175Gb music on my HD...
85% tags in mp3's on russsian (cp1251 codepage.) btw iTunes cant show me normal tags. i think, that it don't support cp1251 in ID3v2.

How i can fix that issue?

PS:
tags mus be like that:
???? - ????????? ???
but i see:
???? - ????????? ???
=(

better attach an image. We only could see here ???? - ??????? ??? and so. Grab a partially screenshot with Alt+Shift+4 (Win-Keyboard), full-screen with Alt+Shift+3 (works in all applications and games)

Hi necrodebian,

as-convert-russian ID3 tags added on a non-Mac machine are likely to be either CP-1251 (Windows) or CP-866 (DOS) coded. When iTunes imports such tags into the library, it has no knowledge what code page was used and by default assumes it is all MacRoman.
Try as-convert-russian (http://code.google.com/p/as-convert-russian/)

I hope it helps.
