Even though the release note for SC7.0.1 states that the new firmware is capable of displaying 'non-english' characters on the controller, Asian characters do not seem to have been included yet.

Either way, is this a CJK issue or are there other important characters/languages to look out for as well (like cyrillic)? Hebrew and Cyrillic seem to be fine for song titles etc, though we don't do right-to-left for Hebrew yet. But I've only tested with a few files.

[slim] Can Squeezebox Duet display international languages?
Hi. I am a new to SB, and am thinking of purchasing the SB3 or the new Duet. Before I make a purchase though, I'd like to know if this is supported. I tried to search, but couldn't find the similar threads, so if this was answered before, please forgive me. Q. A lot of my musics are stored in Mac or Windows with international characters (some Korean, some Japanese, and some Chinese). Can squeezecenter 7 read this and display on the Duet screen properly? Is it same for the directory name/structures? Thanks for taking time to read and respond.

Re: [slim] Can Squeezebox Duet display international languages?
Does that mean that I can't play these musics? or does it look garbage, but still lets me play them? That's two different things.., so let me know. :-) oh.. and do you have a time frame for the better support for asian fonts? -- tosehee tosehee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15513 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43861 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

It will play them but the text on the controller won't be readable.

Re: [slim] Can Squeezebox Duet display international languages?
So, let me get this straight. The musics in Asian characters can't be played by the controller. I have to use the computer to play that through the web browser.. So, what good is the controller in this case? What benefit does the controller has for me? Isn't it better for me to buy something like iPod touch that can connect to the web browser instead? -- tosehee tosehee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15513 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43861 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Someone else with access to the actual hardware needs to confirm this for you, but I'm 99.9% sure Browse by folder works on the Controller too, not just the web interface. As long as your file and folder names are in a supported character set then you should be OK. If this were not the case then you would certainly not be the only person disappointed by this.

Appreciate the prompt response. I guess I will have to wait and see for now or until I get the definite answer. I don't want to spend $400 on the device that won't display or play the favorite musics of mine. Thanks again.
