Thats where your wrong, You can just add the Laguage code at the end of the sortcut e.g. -Number -Number I do it with Winamp.

Foobar may be better but in this case he wants a way for Winamp.

But sure theres allways Foobar

winamp can display chinese, but not the unicode tag info. if the mp3 without tag info but with chinese file name, winamp will display the file name. correct me if im wrong.

NiceCarpet what do you mean the -Number ?? can explain more ??

From my experience, Winamp will never ever be able to display Chinese/Japanese/Korean all at the same time. Yes it can display them, one language at a time thru Applocale (switching regional settings) or the language packs. This however, is only like a cheap fix as you still can't do anything (to the tags) if the filename is in unicode, in which case your just SOL. Obviously it plays etc, but you cannot edit the file (tags) until you switch the filename to an ANSI name.

Not true, thats what I mean by below

NiceCarpet what do you mean the -Number ?? can explain more ??

I'll re-post later on when im on my laptop, this computer dosnt have the lang packs installed so I can't tell you the numbers for it atm.

But what I mean by that is that what Applocale does is when it makes a short cut if you chack the propertys of the sort cut it will have ""bla bla bla" -*Number or some sort*" That number to tell's Applocale to use that language that you picked when setting up the program with Applocale but you can add more codes "-number" to make it add more support so you could add basic support for all 3.

It will show correcty in the play list, but yes your right probley wont work in the tags.

Ok I am on laptop now,

So when run a program though Applocale and it ask's you if you would like to make a sort cut to that program, Pick Yes.

*It will be in the Microsoft Applocale folder in the start menu*

It should look something like this when you right click on the short cut

then click Propertys, a box will open and in that box there will be a part named "Target" there will be something similer to this: *Of course things will change depending on where you installed it, and where the program is*

"C:\WINDOWS\AppPatch\AppLoc.exe "C:\Program Files\Winamp\winamp.exe" "/L0412""

That part in red is the code for the language *In this case L0412 been Korean* that you wanted Applocale to emulate and such, so you can add more to it to support more lnuage e.g.

"C:\WINDOWS\AppPatch\AppLoc.exe "C:\Program Files\Winamp\winamp.exe" "/L0404" "/L0804" "/L0411""

"/L0412" = Korean

"/L0804" = Chinese

"/L0411" = Japanese

So adding those three extensions will emulate Korean, Chinese, Japanese support for that program in this case Winamp.

Sorry if im unclear or anything, I'm just really bad at explaning things ~_~.

Just use foobar.

it can support all the languages at the same time,

and it takes lesser resources.

It's because your tags aren't in unicode. You'd probably want to do this, make a short cut for the item "[context / playlist] Show File Info (Special)" I use Ctrl+1, now you just press Ctrl+1 on your song, and check the "Override Codepage", find the correct one, then Update the tags and the tags will be rewritten in Unicode (UTF16). There is a way of mass doing this, but I don't know whether your songs are all separated or in you have like albums etc. This is the how to do it per file, you could do it in mass but obviously you don't want to mass override codepages for the tags if they're under different codepages as this will completely *uck your tags.

U'll need to download this plugin "foo_codepage_action.dll" to do what iOsiris mentioned.

for me, the procedure is easier, i just copy the songs name from Internet Explorer and paste into the tags.

by the way, my windows XP supports asian text.

i'm not sure can it be done the same way in other windows
