    Song Title Display

    I have a problem with the Song, Artist, Track info on some albums on my Player. Using ID3 TagIT3 all the info is there and correct but my player lists lots of tracks as 'y' with a wavy line (~) over it. the Muse album lists only 1 track, My Chemical romance-nothing (all listed as 'y') and The Killers loose the two bonus tracks. Any ideas?

    Seems to me, that you have tagged in unicode, what is good.
    But miniplayer cannot deal with unicode, what is bad.

    WinAmp changed to unicode support some months ago. So using in conjunction with miniplayer it's a mess.
    But that's not the only point were Chinese programmers seem to code suitable for Windows 95.
    Not supporting vbr header in the right way is more than disappointing. That's programming like in last century
    You can change the unicode behaviour in WinAmp going to Winamp Preferences/Plug-ins/Input/... highlight Nullsoft MPEG Audio Decoder 4.03 ... Configure/Title|Tags ... changing the radio-buttom "Write tags as Unicode to Latin-1 or System Language.
    Afterwards miniplayer should show the right entries. Hope I could help

    Similarly, I have downloaded some music from Jamendo (free legal download), and the name of the artist (Binärpilot) does not show up correctly in my Miniplayer: insted of the 'är' I get a Chinese ideogram. Any suggestions?
