That said, before you try ID3Mod2, you might as well give that a shot first, perhaps it works for you.Uninstall ID3Mod Guides – How to Remove ID3Mod for Mac On a side note, iTunes offers a " Convert ID3 Tags" function that sounds like it should have fixed my problem, alas, blindly trying various options offered by this function didn't seem to have any effect. So as a precaution, before saving the songs with the now corrected ID3 tags, I removed those from the list of songs in ID3Mod2 (by sorting the list of files by Title and removing the block of files with an empty Title (minus a few that had an empty Title, empty Artist but a non-empty and properly appearing "Album" field (which only appeared proper when using the "ShiftJIS_X0213_ 00" encoding (that is, toggling the Encoding to MacRoman, caused this field to appear improper for these files))). Scrolling through the correctly appearing list of files in ID3Mod2, I noticed that some files had an empty Title and sometimes even Album field. Selecting "ShiftJIS_X0213_00" allowed the "** CAN NOT DISPLAY **" text to disappear for these files, too. Having heard of ShiftJIS before in context of using Japanese input under Windows, I tried "ShiftJIS" which looked mostly correct (i.e., the "Title" and "Author" fields shown in ID3Mod2 now appeared in Japanese characters) except that for some songs "** CAN NOT DISPLAY **" appeared for some of the fields.
There were still a few steps involved to get this problem corrected though, as you have to manually tell ID3Mod2 which encoding was originally used to encode the garbled characters, which may or may not involve some guess work on your part. So I followed the proposed solution (using ID3Mod 2, a shareware program), which solved my problem (Note: I tried Unicode Rewriter, too but at least without ID3Mod2's help to relatively painlessly arrive with the proper, originally used character encoding, it didn't fix my problem (in other words, it might have worked had I known the exact encoding choosing AutoJIS in Unicode Rewriter, didn't yield the proper encoding)).
I then hit upon the thread " iTunes not importing Japanese artist/title metadata" which described a very similar problem.

But given that I have quite a few Japanese such files, manually fixing all the fields of each song is rather tedious.įurther investigating using Kid3, a free MP3 editor, I noticed that the ID3 tags of the source MP3 files in question already appeared garbled.
On a side note, after selecting Japanese as the input language on my mac, I am able to type in the proper Japanese characters for the song title and author fields directly in iTunes, and iTunes will maintain these characters now. Likewise, the song titles and author names shows up garbled in iTunes. However, once I use iTunes' "Add To Library" function to add the file to my music library, the file name ends up garbled on my harddrive (that is, the characters are changed into symbols (which are probably part of the Roman character set)). The file names display with the correct Japanese characters after copying them from the USB stick to my iMac's harddrive (using Finder). These songs have Japanese characters in their file names, song titles and artist names.

A Japanese friend using Windows 7 gave me a USB stick with several Japanese songs.
