geoffkhan Posted May 3, 2004 at 10:08 PM Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 at 10:08 PM Hi, As stated in the title of this thread, I'm trying to find out which band made these songs (I believe these songs are all by the same artist). http://www.musicalrealm.com/musicalrealmmp3/500/01.mp3 http://www.musicalrealm.com/musicalrealmmp3/500/02.mp3 http://www.musicalrealm.com/musicalrealmmp3/500/03.mp3 http://www.musicalrealm.com/musicalrealmmp3/500/04.mp3 http://www.musicalrealm.com/musicalrealmmp3/500/05.mp3 http://www.musicalrealm.com/musicalrealmmp3/500/06.mp3 http://www.musicalrealm.com/musicalrealmmp3/500/07.mp3 http://www.musicalrealm.com/musicalrealmmp3/500/08.mp3 http://www.musicalrealm.com/musicalrealmmp3/500/09.mp3 http://www.musicalrealm.com/musicalrealmmp3/500/10.mp3 http://www.musicalrealm.com/musicalrealmmp3/500/11.mp3 Whoah, a LOT of songs. The "artist name" in Winamp comes out as garbage (weird ascii symbols), and not in the appropriate Chinese characters. Maybe it'd help me more if someone pointed me in the direction of a Chinese winamp or something similar (and free). Thank you all so much!

roddy Posted May 4, 2004 at 02:04 AM Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 at 02:04 AM The characters come up fine for me on Chinese XP - 伍佰, or Wu Bai I didn't check all of the songs, just the first and last and they were both the same artist. Very fast downloads, incidentally. Hope this helps Roddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffkhan Posted May 4, 2004 at 11:00 PM Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 at 11:00 PM Well I don't have Chinese XP -- I have English XP. But I am getting the latest winamp, and I hear that if you turn off the "bitmap text", you can apparently use a Chinese font. Thank you!

niubi Posted May 5, 2004 at 04:30 AM Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 at 04:30 AM you need to change your regional and language settings in XP...there is no problem to read chinese text in winamp when you do that. i know there is a post somewhere on this forum with regard to the question of how to set up chinese support in english XP, but i am too lazy to look for it right now.

geoffkhan Posted May 5, 2004 at 09:14 PM Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 at 09:14 PM Oh, I've set the chinese up in XP all right and I can write it and everything. It's just winamp... Oh well, I'll get it working eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quest Posted May 5, 2004 at 09:32 PM Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 at 09:32 PM download a new version: www.winamp.com older versions map their text displays to little bitmaps only allowing characters 0-9 a-Z etc. Also, if you've set up your regional code to be simplified Chinese, you cannot view the BIG5 codes that Taiwan uses.

geoffkhan Posted May 5, 2004 at 11:09 PM Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 at 11:09 PM Ahah! Too late, I already downloaded the newest Winamp and got the Chinese text working. Thank you all the same. Personally I prefer simplified chinese. I can only recognise a few traditional characters because of that wacky simplified/traditional mix we get out here in California.

tetsuo500 Posted May 6, 2004 at 03:14 AM Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 at 03:14 AM http://www.1001winampskins.com/winamp_language_packs.html There is a language pack there for simplified Chinese... but I haven't tested it, so I'm not sure whether it is just to bring up the menus in simplified Chinese or whether you can display track names as well. I'm guessing it's just for menus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
