    Default iTunes being a ***** - not recognising tags+repz

    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...

    Code:
    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
