Problem in ITunes

[ericeash]

my wife bought me an ipod for my birthday, so i've begun importing songs into itunes. after i import some songs, there are these annoying little boxes immediately after the title, artist name, and album name. the only way i can get rid of them is to right click and select get info, and then click ok. but it only works on some of them. anybody have an idea what it is doing. i've got like 5000 songs to upload and don't feel like clicking on every single one.

thanks and happy holidays,

eric
