Thai Font In iTunes

For most mac thai users, after you finish download your Thai MP3 song from CD. You might not be able to read your song. It is crazy ha! And you have to sit in front of your mac computer to edit the alien language. What the heck! Editing all thai songs' title in iTunes might be pain in the neck, since itunes is not support thai font, so does ipod?. You must edit song title manually. I had experienced this problem too at the beginning. Then,I found out that it was a time consuming and unwise to do so. With a little program called Cyclone along with mac thai unicode script, my backlogs have been gone. Follow my solution here.

First, you need to download Cyclone 1.6b1 and save it anywhere you want on your mac but preferably in your application folder (since it is an application). Then, go to my friend's website to download this scritp (Thank you P'Kae for your favor). Before you try to save this file. I would recommend you to create a scritp folder in home/library/iTunes/script.

Now, every time when you launch iTunes you should see a little scritp on your menu bar. It means you are ready to use this feature. Next step, click on the song you want to encode and then right click (ctrl+click) and choose convert ID3 Tags. Then check the box translate text characters/ASCII to ISO latin-1. Don't be panic if you see more weird language! We have not finish yet. Finally, please click on the script icon on your itunes' menu bar and choose mac thai unicode which will be used along with cyclone to decode alien character. Finally, your thai song title is just right there. If you follow my instruction here, you will decrease your backlogs and enjoy with your media.

P.S. I would give my credit of this solution to my prospective Ph.D student in Pittsburgh and USC friend in New York.
