</p>
<p class="para block">Please note that if necessary you can change the charset each time you add files or directories: the iTunesDB itself is using UTF16, so once tags are imported correctly, changing the charset has no influence.
</p>
<p class="para block">If you chose "Japanese (automatic detection)", gtkpod will try to determine if the string is in ISO-2022-JP, Shift_JIS, or EUC-JP (Hankaku Katakana (1-byte Katakana) may not be recognized correctly -- specify the correct encoding if you run into this problem). The actual encoding used for the ID tags will be stored and will be used when writing tags or doing updates/syncs. Check the "Use selected charset also when updating or syncing tracks" and "Use selected charset when writing tags" options if you want to specify a particular character set when writing or updating/syncing. The default charset is "EUC-JP" -- it will be used when the charset cannot be autodetected, as well as when writing tags if a specific charset could not be determined before.

You cannot supply a template like "%a%t.mp3" because gtkpod would not know how to separate artist and title. "%a_%t.mp3" would be correct, if artist and title are separated by an underscore.
