Just read in Apple's FAQ for the iPod that it supports multiple languages in song and artist data alongside each other. Sadly they shed no light on how to achieve this feat.

How are languages in mp3 tags handled anyway?
I have quite a lot of Japanese mp3s but their tags show up as absolute garbage in both Winamp and (please don't hurt me for this) MMJB. I guess it's just EUC or one of the JIS encodings und would display correctly on a native Japanese OS, but that still does not answer how Apple want to be able to handle English, German, Japanese and others in parallel. Does this beast support a subset of Unicode after all?
I've always wanted to have correct tags on my files, maybe even for the Korean stuff... is there an application for Windows or Linux that will let me tag internationally (in the same format as the iPod perhaps) and display them correctly? (Most likely this will limit my choice in ID3 tag versions, I'm not even sure what iPod can read)

How do you handle your multi-language collection?

Most probably.



There's a WinAmp general plugin called "YunaSoft Sexyfont" that handles international charachters using any Unicode font in your system.

But it's a very, very big hack, so you can expect stability issues when using it.

Hmm... first the server was down. Now I installed it - doesn't do anything yet. In theory it's exactly what I'm looking for though.

Thanks!

You must set up an unicode font in the plugin configurations (like Arial Unicode). Have you done that?
