Hi guys.
My iTunes is being a *****/****/prostitute and not accepting my ID3 tags. I used a python script that I made in Linux to automatically rename about 200 songs ID3 tags which were missing. Windows show them fine, but iTunes is being a **** and not accepting the new tags! I've tried removing the songs and readding them but nothing happens. How can I fix this for all the songs?
Look at the image below :)

I suspect your Python script added malformed IDv3 tags...

import getopt, string, re, sys, os, glob
from ID3 import *

path = './'
for infile in glob.glob( os.path.join(path, '*.mp3') ):
print "current file is: " + infile
print ' '
name = infile.split('./')
name = name[1]

# Get the first argument and add .mp3
id3info = ID3(name)

# Print the id3 information
print id3info
# Print a line breaker
print "---------"

name = name.split('-',3)

# Convert the title to the name
id3info['TITLE'] = name[1]
# Convert the Artist to the name
id3info['ARTIST'] = name[0]
# Write the id3 data
id3info.write()

# Print the data again
print id3info





pretty sure that was my code.. is there a decent batch renamer for windows than? My files are all named like this: Cheap Sober - The Hunt For Cash.mp3
