Foobar2000 unicode

ok so i grew out of the suckage that is winamp and switched to foobar2000. despite claiming to have full unicode support, some of my tracks dont show up as it should, and some are ok (i have no such problem in winamp when i started it with applocale).

i have a vast library of chinese and japanese songs, i would prefer unicode support to be jap.

Install Special file info box(foo_infobox) and change the tags into the proper codepage. (Right click -> File info -> Override codepage)

Check your mp3 tags -- they may not be proper unicode tags.  Use something like mp3tag to batch convert from a specific codepage into proper unicode.

Just a word of warning though, I've had my share of Chinese tags that would always get fucked up when read again after being written to the file.  Not sure if it was particular to a buggy version of mp3tag or if the double-byte included the id3v2 field terminator.  I ended up using apev2 tags to overcome this.

im sorry, im a huge noob.

what do i do with the dll files :-(

>>3
naw, they look fine in my windows explorer.

>>4
Put it in, Program Files\foobar2000\components\

>>6
ok i got it, but now i have to override codepage for each of my mp3s one by one :(

any idea what is the correct unicode set for japanese?

>>7
Japanese tags are mostly written in Shift-JIS.

>>8
ty, some aren't though lucky i found out before its too late ^_^

ALSO, configuring foobar to look nice even at the slightest is a BITCH, and the forums aren't helpful at all :(

Use ui_columns?

>>10
Find a config that you like on the forums, then learn the formatting from that and modify it how you want it.

The correct Unicode set for Japanese, as well as any other language is Unicode. In fact, the correct character set to use is always Unicode, and the correct character encoding is either UTF-8, UTF-16 or UTF-32 according to your needs.

Japanese files are usually labelled in Shit_JIS though. Get rid of anything that's not Unicode, convert them all.

The correct character encoding is never UTF-32.

>>14
If you were handling many characters outside the BMP and wanted the best performance, you could use UTF-32. This would be unusual but possible.

>>15
No, you would use UTF-16.

>>16
Does UTF-16 support characters over U+FFFF?

>>17
Yes. The codepoints D800..DFFF are permanently unused, and it uses pairs of those to encode the characters beyond codepoint FFFF.
