What problem? All you really did was write "example" and "?" in capitals and red, and "i dont want this" and "?" in orange. You're going to have to explain it better than that.

Ok, I'll hazard a guess: you want to write text string "EXAMPLE", but you find "EXAMPLE???????????????????????" inside the file afterwards?

Well, looking at your code and guessing the number of "?" characters, I would say you write exactly what you read from the MP3 file:

title = fp.read(30)
a=info['title']
f.write(a)

Therefore I would say the problem is in data instead of code. Why do you think title would be exactly 30 characters? Always?

how can know lenght of title :S
fp.read(10) or fp.read(15) exmple

Maybe you can try "readline()", where you can read the lines like if you place title on first line, then artist on second line

or

You can differentiate between all the artists, albums etc with some identifier like colon,comma etc.
