thank you, Michael, for your guidance.

I'm using iTunes 7.4.2

source: mp3s from radio broadcasts, e.g., WBAI archives: 
http://archive.wbai.org/



the problem might have cleared itself up, thanks to your remarks, 
which stimulated me to burn a CD that I own this might have done the 
trick. the name(s) came out okay. then I burned some radio archival 
mp3s onto a CD, and the names came out okay for that too, so 
hopefully I'm out of the woods

many thanks!
Daniel
