Date: 31 Dec 2008 14:50:36 +0100 Okay, I'll try to rephrase the question: I have an Archos Recorder V1 and a lot of music with titles and artists that have non-ASCII characters. The title and artist information is contained within the file names, and also as ID3 tags. The disk is VFAT, it supports Unicode file names. No problem. RockBox shows the file names okay, including the non-ASCII characters. Great. While playing, RockBox shows the correct artist and title information on the WPS screen. I assume RockBox gets the info from the ID3 tags. However, the ID3 tags are encoded in ISO-8859.1. I know for sure, since I did that myself. So, if the ID3 tags are in ISO-8859.1, how come RockBox displays the contents correctly? Or am I overlooking something? I ask this since I'm about to update all my MP3 files, and one of the things I want to do is to store artist and title information in Unicode in the ID3 tags. Before doing so, I want to make sure that the information will be displayed correctly. -- Johan ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rockbox FAQ: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GeneralFAQ Etiquette: http://www.rockbox.org/mail/etiquette.html Received on 2008-12-31 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
