AMIP Community _ Support _ Amip + iTunes, special characters

Posted by: padrak Jul 6 2009, 01:32 PM

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.

Thanks for the clarification!
