iTunes Changing info to code?

I am using a macbook, and iTunes latest version. I keep having an issue
where my info (titles, artists, and albums) are changed/scrambled into
some random code or script. When I try to them back using
Advanced>Convert ID3 Tags> Any option it doesn't work,
occasionaly changing it to something Asian looking but never to
English.

I have deleted all songs out of my library, sorted through them,
recorrected the file names and yet when I load it back into iTunes
random songs revert...

Any thoughts? All help would be greatly appreciated, I'm about to through my computer through a window...

Thanks!

-Hi,

Not sure why Asian info is popPing up. Is this what you already tried:

And what operating system are you using?

Yes, that is what I tried.

To give you a better idea of whats up, this is what iTunes changes it to:

å€•æπ•ç‰•â••ä°•æ€•æ¬•æ‰•â••ä´•æ‰•â••å∆•æπ•æπ•â••ä´•ç‰•æ‘•æ •

And when I try to reverse unicode this is what it becomes:

갠∠쀃∠〠∠∠∠뀀∠갠∠가∠〠∠∠∠됀∠

Someone suggested that I'm missing a codec, but aside from redownloading the software I don't know how to go about fixing that if that is the problem.

I'm using OSX version 10.4.11

Hmm, I have NO clue whats causing the hiccup. Maybe some iTunes member will dance along w/ the answer. In case you haven't already, might bop over to Apple's Discussion boards and post it in the iTunes forum:

Now you have me curious...

Edit The URLs don't show up as hot links....another hiccup;
