Kanji support on the Amundsen

Featured Replies

Hi, I am trying to view Kanji characters in my Amundsen as I have some japanese mp3, but I cannot make it.
I know that the Amundsen supports ID3v2 tags, and I am using v2.3 as I understood it is commonly deployed.
 
I have for instance this song and the Amundsen is showing the Artists correctly (even if there are some special characters) but the title is completely unreadable

If you look at the binary structure of the headers, it is all per standard

This is the result in my Amundsen

Any idea on how to fix it?
Thanks a lot

When you find out i'll make sure to take note as a good chunk of my music is just boxes... The impreza supported the text.

I did some tests, as I could not find any reliable external information.
I created an MP3 with Album Name and or Artists name having specific Unicode UTF16 characters belonging to Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) only.
The table below shows my findings

As you can see, the only extra characters I can see are the extended Latin chars, at least some of them, which cover Latin, Czech, Dutch, Polish, Turkish and Romaji.

Additionally, I can see greek characters - I just tested one of them and I could see it. Don't know if Coptic (03E2-03EF) is included.

If someone wants, I can share the MP3 test file with such characters so you can check in your own radio. Probably the results will be country-dependent.

 

Anyway, I have no luck because CJK is not supported (last three lines of the table)

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. Boxes are better than nothing, though I would also like to get kanji working on my Bolero, but I'm not going to hold my breath. Using English translations feels like cheating...
