N97 Music - Titles with strange characters

1 replies · 3,719 views · Started 12 July 2009

Anyone else have problems with getting the real titles to appear in the Music Player for artists like Bj�rk?

In the list of artists it shows as Bj(capital A with tilde)(paragraph mark)rk.

I have one oriental artist who appears as (ae)(cent sign)(paragraph)(left accent e)(capital S with inverted caret)(1/2)(left accent e)i(pound sterling sign)(dotted a)(quad).

I even have one artist that shows as (quad)(quad)(quad)(quad).

My iPod Nano has no problems with displaying the names properly.

I've also noticed that Nokia Music doesn't always look up all of the album covers properly either.

You probably do not have those languages in your phone. I think only the messaging app is capable of displaying unicode while the others like the music player is limited to only the languages that are included in your region (product code).

This is just speculation and I might be wrong.
