tony, in our test it did work : / I will again investigate what is happening...

Do you actually mean displaying properly? I tried uploading another song, still the same.

Here's what I'm getting on that song:


And the same song as shown on my desktop:


If you need more samples of songs just let me know... I really want to help and get this working.

Are you saving the Tags in UTF8 or GB2312? I can't see anything like that in your screenshot - and i don't have Windows, but on Mac iTunes imports Chinese mp3s with UTF8 encoding perfectly, while GB2312 tags are messed up like in your screenshot. You can try mp3unicode and convert all mp3s to Unicode if you have access to a Linux box or perhaps there's a different converter for Windows.

Edit: on a second thought, it may also be a font problem in canola, like in FBReader which does not fall back to other fonts if it can't find the required characters in the default font... but i don't use canola so can't test it out...

It could be in BIG5, but definitely not GB2312. GB2312 is for Simplified Chinese, and I use Traditional.

*Knocks self on head*

It was the BIG5 encoding. I got a utility called ConvertZ and fixed it.

Thanks for the help, guys.

toni : so can you confirm that your tags are now correct? so we can make a stick for Chinese users

Actually somewhat. I had one file (the one I just showed in the pics), for that one I just did a Unicode conversion, that worked, but some other songs which I deleted all the tags, and refilled it with information, those ones are only showing a title, but not the other info. I only filled in Artist and Title for those songs.

I'm going to try and reload my songs later.
