tracks that have their name in japanese show up as gibberish on my winamp, whereas in explorer it looks fine. is there a way around this? tried google but no luck.

Temporary solution: Install Miscrosoft AppLocale and always start Winamp with it.
Real solution: Wait for Winamp to support Unicode, which they say is coming soon. Through, who really knows.

They've been saying this for a mighty long time, and now that Nullsoft is just a skeleton, I doubt it's ever going to happen.

They say they won't recompile it with UTF-8 support because it will break their plugins or some such nonsense. Which they could probably just compile with UTF-8 support to fix.

Open source ftw. Unfortunately, winamp is proprietary.

Users make plugins, not Nullsoft and there are many, many plugins. However, I've complained in their forums and the mod DJ Egg has told me that there is already partial Unicode support in Winamp and the devs plan to roll out full support within the next few releases.
