OSX and mp3's
Hi all,
Just a quick question, i'm currently trying to copy .mp3 files off of my Windows XP server onto my iMac. It's all going fine apart from them being renamed to names i can't recognise unless i load them into iTunes and see the id3 tags. This is a major pain in the arse. I know iTunes is all i need to organise my music but because i've got so many files i'd rather them not be renamed this way. Is there any way i can stop this as it isn't very helpful. Oh and if it helps, none of the files have invalid characters or file names that are too long.
Please, please, please help.

When i hover the pointer over them nothing shows up in tool tips.
Don't suppose that sheds any light?
Artist - Track Name.mp3
Sorry i don't know enough about scripting to be able to do this myself. If you could point me in the right direction i would really apreciate it.
Thanks
Andrew

That last site, www.malcolmadams.com/itunes is an excellent resource with TONs of scripts for iTunes specifically. I forgot all about it until now.
