i have an iPod(yeah, boo, should have got a creative zen or whatever...) I bought recently from a friend for $100(30GB Photo, works!), and for transferring stuff there I use Anapod. Problem is, I have some songs whose original title/tags are in Chinese, Japanese, and Russian (yes, all three.) My 'pod will play the music just fine but the titles show up as unintelligible text. Is there any way to have the songs show their titles in their original language, or will I have to go and re-edit all the titles myself for English?
thats odd.
my nano displays foreign text.
although, i do use itunes. maybe that has something to do with it.
try updating your firmware.

tried it, it said it already was updated(version 1.0). and I don't think restore would do anything...

The only language supported by iPod is Tard.

i think it's because urusing Anapod instead of iTunes.
i have an iPod, OG shit right here, and mine displays all foreign characters just right.
also, don't buy Zen, piece of shit, buy a Sansa mp3 player. does everything the nano does (including same size) but does much more, like videos, fm tuner and recorder, pictures, and voice recorder.

I think you're doing it wrong. The strange characters you're seeing are probably the original language - many songs are coded in the real language instead of rendered in the Roman alphabet. True story.

Probably not. I have used several third-party apps - gtkpod, ipodsharp, gnutunes - and they have all added the unicode text properly. It is possible that Anapod doesn't support Unicode though - in which case, just get iTunes. (get Banshee if using Linux)

dont fucking use anapod, itunes will show the letters as boxes, but the ipod will display them when they are on it, anapod should only be used for emrg removal of songs, but you can do that with winamp sooo

By the way, iPod is superior.
Anyone who bashes it is too poor to afford one,
and is thus bitter. Maybe if some of you would just
get out of your trailer to go to work once in a while,
you'd be able to afford acceptable standards of living
in Amerikkka.

I have the same problem, but I think it's due to the fact that it usually gets the song name from the file name, and I can't save files with Japanese characters in their names in 2K. Trust me, I have every foreign font possible installed, and I can display Japanese text fine, but I can't save files with Japanese text.
