Every time I try to 'update' any mp3 with any Cyrillic characters in the title they seem to get replaced with all sorts of strange ASCII characters. Does anybody know a way around this?

Which version are you using? versions earlier than 0.80 are not Unicode aware.

I guess the latest version available, so 0.80. I uninstalled it and was doing it all manually but this proved to be too much effort...

It's essentially saving the file name as this (I have taken away the numbers and band name)

Âi÷íå Ñîíöå (Eternal Sun)

Instead of

Вiчне Сонце (Eternal Sun)

If you are simply renaming then i would like you to send me an mp3 file and your tgf.ini file
If you are updating the tag fields then try to use UTF-16 encoding in Options/Tags/Id3

To your email? Or upload them to a site and just provide a link?

Anything that is convenient to you

Been a while without any net, will get this up asap.

Better late than never...

Both files are in there. The id3 tags are correct on there (renamed on another device) Every time I go to update the tags or file name, it changes it to that mumbo-jimbo.

It has to be something your operating system, which version of windows are one are you using?

I'm using Windows 7 currently, while I was running an XP system I was having a similiar problem.

Starting to think it's due to the language limitations of the OS...

The mp3 that I showed you; the id3 tags are updated correctly, but yeah the file name changes to gobbledeegook...

The only other machine I have has a Linux distribution on it... Would TGF run on that?

It should work fine under Win7, i tested in my machine and the file renames correctly.

By the looks of things, If I update the id3 tags that are in Ukrainian on another program, then it seems to update the file name fine. If I try to add the foreign character names in TGF shit gets real.

I'll keep the Ukrainian off TGF perhaps.

Select to save ID3 tags in UTF-16 format just to see what happens

I'll find some more music titled in foreign texts and report back...
