Hopefully one of our European mainland chums can help me here...

Please excuse any incorrect terminology used here ;)

I'm having trouble displaying 'special' or non UK/US characters in Winamp, my meta data seems perfectly fine in my SqueezeBox setup, and also when I browse the data via windows explorer, however when viewed within Winamp it's slightly less than ideal...

eg.

Via win explorer 'Rinôçérôse' looks fine in the metadata, however within winamp it becomes 'Rinôçérôse'. :steam:

I've gone through the winamp forums and found a thread on the subject for an older release of winamp (5.5 I believe), and have set everything to use 'Arial Unicode MS' on both the playlist & skin, but with no success, I even upgraded to XP SP3 in the vain hope this might help...but no :(

My system is XP SP3, Winamp 5.61 (Modern Skin), and my FLAC souce is from a QNAP TS-119 NAS...Oh and MS office 2003, for the font :)

Cheers for any assistance :cool:
