Hi!

I think that the original problem is with iTunes but maybe someone has a workaround for it.

Despite tagging my files with mp3tag to ISO 8859-1 format AMIP doesn't spam german umlauts and special characters correctly.
It looks like that -> "np. Eläkeläiset - Dementikon Keppihumppa (Humppa-Akatemia (CD2), 2000)"

In foobar the text is displayed correctly.

It seems that iTunes just ignores the ISO format.

Does someone have a solution for this or is there no way getting this repaired?

Thx in advance!

Search the forum for "unicode".

But whats my problem got to do with unicode?

I know that unicode isn't supported by AMIP, but the ISO 8859-1 tag is correctly displayed with the foobar player but not with iTunes.

Are you suggesting that i will need unicode to get the AMIP/iTunes combination to work with special characters?

Yep, AMIP gets tags from iTunes directly and something goes wrong during conversion. So it will not work until Unicode is fully supported.
