Does anybody know if MusicBrainz is suppose to convert unicode to english when writing to the ID3 tag?

2005-04-13 10301, 2005
-
cikkolata
it doesn't.
2005-04-13 10307, 2005
-
cikkolata
ID3 tags support unicode, so...
2005-04-13 10321, 2005
-
Pipian
not every program supports Unicode in ID3 tags
2005-04-13 10325, 2005
-
Pipian
XMMS-Scrobbler does!
2005-04-13 10326, 2005
-
Seikatsu
Actually, the client just doesn't even support UNICODE.
2005-04-13 10349, 2005

Relationship is what is listed in dark brown (?).

vital
are all you guys developers for musicbrainz?
2005-04-13 10312, 2005
-
cikkolata
Pipian: but that's not ID3's fault :P
2005-04-13 10317, 2005
-
Seikatsu
I get garbage in the lookup page instead of Japanese characters.
2005-04-13 10319, 2005
-
Gino
Seems easy but hust few days ago MB have not the possibility to insert such info
2005-04-13 10320, 2005
-
Gino
No
2005-04-13 10348, 2005
-
cikkolata
Seikatsu: yeah, we know about that...
2005-04-13 10358, 2005
-
Gino has quit
2005-04-13 10303, 2005
-
Seikatsu
Is it suppose to do that?
2005-04-13 10312, 2005
-
Clutcher joined the channel
2005-04-13 10314, 2005
-
cikkolata
err...
2005-04-13 10320, 2005
-
cikkolata
I doubt it's supposed to be broken
2005-04-13 10330, 2005
-
cikkolata
but it doesn't have unicode support yet
2005-04-13 10334, 2005
-
Seikatsu
I mean when I look at the album it works perfectly.
2005-04-13 10308, 2005

Seikatsu is now known as CessBlue
2005-04-13 10344, 2005
-
cikkolata
you're definitely not the only person wanting better unicode support.
2005-04-13 10309, 2005
-
CessBlue
Heheh, I thought that if the server has unicode support, the client would also have it...

-
cikkolata
I don't!
2005-04-13 10313, 2005
-
DJKC
and then haven't updated the client in a long time
2005-04-13 10316, 2005
-
cikkolata
yeah
2005-04-13 10321, 2005
-
cikkolata
a year now, or something.
2005-04-13 10333, 2005
-
cikkolata
but the newer one... almost kinda sorta not really has unicode support
2005-04-13 10355, 2005
-
CessBlue
Man, that sucks.
2005-04-13 10358, 2005
-
DJKC
not at all on windows, sort of on linux with prodding
2005-04-13 10303, 2005
-
cikkolata
yeah.
2005-04-13 10323, 2005
-
cikkolata
well, the *tags* are OK on windows, if you want to set the utf-8 flag...
2005-04-13 10332, 2005
-
cikkolata
but the filenames are just nuked.
2005-04-13 10342, 2005
-
cikkolata
even I was impressed at how nuked they were.
2005-04-13 10308, 2005
-
CessBlue
The tags are okay? They are garbage to me.
2005-04-13 10324, 2005
-
cikkolata
I was talking about the new tagger that's being developed
2005-04-13 10338, 2005
-
CessBlue
Oh.
2005-04-13 10345, 2005
-
CessBlue
Picard?
2005-04-13 10349, 2005
-
CessBlue
Maybe I should try it out.
2005-04-13 10351, 2005
-
cikkolata
and they'd probably still end up being garbage :(
2005-04-13 10321, 2005
-
cikkolata
I wonder if wheels has made any progress.
2005-04-13 10334, 2005
-
cikkolata
I wonder if wheels is bribable with chocolate...
2005-04-13 10339, 2005
-
DJKC
yeah. whereas right now I have perfect unicode support in foobar
2005-04-13 10306, 2005
-
DJKC
and not a lot of incentive to install picard, retag, unbreak the tags, and rename from them to unbreak the filenames
2005-04-13 10317, 2005
-
CessBlue
Even Tag&Rename has perfect unicode support
2005-04-13 10344, 2005
-
DJKC
true, in the newer versions
2005-04-13 10355, 2005
-
DJKC
it doesn't have as nice of file naming functions as foo though
2005-04-13 10316, 2005
-
DJKC
nor manuial freedb query if I remember right
2005-04-13 10323, 2005
-
DJKC
it is nice though
2005-04-13 10346, 2005
-
CessBlue
Try Godfather (it's missing unicode though)
2005-04-13 10306, 2005
-
DJKC
there'd be no point
2005-04-13 10328, 2005
-
DJKC
when I checked the other day out of 31k tracks 26k are in asian languages
2005-04-13 10345, 2005
-
DJKC
so no unicode == no point
2005-04-13 10337, 2005
-
cikkolata
damn.
2005-04-13 10339, 2005
-
cikkolata
that's a lot
2005-04-13 10312, 2005
-
DJKC
actually, thta was badly phrased. 26k are by asian artists or asian related sources like konami game OSTS
2005-04-13 10338, 2005
-
DJKC
I didn't check the actual languages though, with the amount of english in it I'm sure it's down to only 20k or so with non-english in the tags
2005-04-13 10343, 2005
-
DJKC
but... still a pain
2005-04-13 10351, 2005
-
CessBlue
Damn
2005-04-13 10355, 2005
-
CessBlue
That's a lot of tagging.
2005-04-13 10311, 2005
-
DJKC
if I were to try and go the break->fix tag->fix filename route
2005-04-13 10338, 2005

2005-04-13 10338, 2005

I would have to faff about importing the db again to find out.
2005-04-13 10303, 2005

Thai music would be good
2005-04-13 10336, 2005

you'd think so
2005-04-13 10344, 2005

I'm still eagerly awaiting actual Internationalization work on MB
2005-04-13 10347, 2005

Pipian
We have AR
2005-04-13 10350, 2005
-
DJKC
but they're worse than the Japanese when it comes to foncusingly mixing languages
2005-04-13 10308, 2005
-
DJKC
there are China Girls tracks with bits of mandarin, thai, and English in them
2005-04-13 10309, 2005

now where is my language-specific artist, album, and track titles?
2005-04-13 10314, 2005

2005-04-13 10322, 2005

i don't care if it mixes languages
2005-04-13 10323, 2005

DJKC
and TaTa young is just all over
2005-04-13 10330, 2005

Pipian
as long as the ID3 tag would have to be in Thai =P
2005-04-13 10343, 2005
-
DJKC
songs in English and Japanese entirely even though she's thai
2005-04-13 10358, 2005
-
Pipian
Hmm...
2005-04-13 10306, 2005
-
DJKC
like with Youjeen's solo albms - she's korean, so they're in English and Japanese only
2005-04-13 10314, 2005
-
Pipian
I may just run down to the radio station and see if there's any non-Latin character there
2005-04-13 10319, 2005

Well
2005-04-13 10329, 2005

(just a guess)
2005-04-13 10308, 2005

Now to waste time not doing what I should be doing
2005-04-13 10322, 2005
-
DJKC
it's partially that
2005-04-13 10335, 2005
-
DJKC
it's partially that even though she had several multiplatinum releases in thailand
2005-04-13 10345, 2005
-
DJKC
thai CDs retail for around the equiv of 6-7$
2005-04-13 10354, 2005
-
Pipian
heh
2005-04-13 10358, 2005
-
DJKC
while if you can sell the same amount in JP then they retail for 20-30$
2005-04-13 10304, 2005
-
Pipian
right
2005-04-13 10317, 2005
