Artist Name Not Good

[misa443]

Hello,
I have many Queen songs and they are properly tagged by albums. But, not long ago the tag for artist name went from normal to name that contains some question marks at the end (Queen(????)). But when I see the tag by an app called Itag, it is properly named.
Why did this happen?

Itag(nothing to do with Apple) is a tool for editing MP3 ID3 tags I believe. What player are you using and what is your device make and model. Possibly an update broke something in the way it reads MP3 tags? Have you tried another music player app?

The only time I've seen ???? coming up in ID3 tags, is when whatever player can't read Chinese ID3s. There's occasionally an issue with some Android players showing "Unknown artist", but apparently that's when music was tagged with Apple iTunes.

Itag shows the tag properly when I try to edit a song, but it also shows improper name on main page. I use LG Optimus L5 (E610) and mostly Android default player. I also have Winamp, but it shows question marks too.

When I rename it to different name like Queene or something, it works fine. It only happens on Queen.

I've got Queen - Greatest Hits [Hollywood] on my microSD card and Poweramp shows Queen correctly on every song.

IIn fact, Winamp also shows correct name. Question marks only appear on menus and when I play the music with Android default player (they don't appear in Winamp now playing menu, but it's annyoing me!).
