Hi, I've added some Chinese and Japanese font lyrics to a few songs, and sync them with my iphone3gs. It worked perfectly fine. The lyrics appeared ok! However, I tried adding some artwork. After that when I sync the songs with my iphone again, I realized some lyrics of the songs (which were ok previously) went cuckoo (ie appeared as garbage) on the iphone. Strange thing is some lyrics are ok, but some are not. I removed the suddenly-turned-faulty lyrics via itunes, but they still appear (as garbage) when I open the files using windows media player or on the iphone. When I Get Info --> lyrics, the lyrics was not there actually. So I do not know where the garbage lyrics come from. I am at a lost how could I remove the lyrics from the files, hope you could kindly advise. Could it be some hidden files/fields or is there a better tool to edit the lyrics? Thank you and cheers!
