I have a lot of Chinese music. On my computer, the song files themselves and in iTunes are all correctly labeled in Chinese by Artist, song name, etc.

However, when I upload them to my Android, many of the song titles and artist names appear in the music player as gibberish. My phone is set up to deal with Chinese, and other apps can type and display Chinese no problem. Why is it just the music player that's having problems. Furthermore, if I view the songs as files under "my files" on the Android, the Chinese song titles and artists are all correct and viewable. It's only in the Music player that they're gibberish. Very annoying. How do I fix this?

I have a Samsung GT-S5830 Galaxy Ace with Android 2.2.1
