rowaasr13: Not really a good argument - the majority of MB users are english-speaking, and the majority of music on MB is english (currently).

and i realise, that wihle I could use a only latin1 database. others can use other bits, who am I to inferiour their uses and the correct artistname (the way he / she spells it, byw) because I have an old system?

if you're reading the song title correctly, you can read THIS artist's name correctly. I'm not suggesting a global change.

So, marbahlarbs, I'll even drop cyrillic request. Just go change "Beatles" to phonetic "Bitlz", so anyone familiar with latin can read it. When this mod is approved I swear I'll vote yes on your Yoko's mod.

Of course it makes sense from an accuracy point of view to write each artist in its "original" language. This doesn't really coexist with the tagging ideal at the moment though. Especially for foreign artists which are (more) popular in english-speaking countries.

you're blowing this way out of proportion. THIS artist's song titles and album titles are all in english, latin. It wouldn't hurt anything other than your ego to have the artist name also latin. (He would not be made English)
