iTunes: Importing Songs Whose Artist‘s Name Begins With a Dot

Symptom

When you insert an audio CD iTunes gets the CD track names from the CDDB, but when you import a song from the CD an artist's name that begins with a dot "." is changed to an underscore "_".

Solution

This is the way iTunes works on Mac OS X. Artist's names that start with dot "." will be changed to begin with an underscore "_" when you import them from an audio CD.
