Japanese Songs Upload With Sonicstage

Hello everybody.

I just got my MZ-NH10, and I use it with SonicStage 3.1 downloaded in the "Downloads" section right here on Minidisc.org.

Until now, I have not succeeded in uploading songs with Japanese characters in their info. Neither SonicStage or Simple Burner worked. My system is a french W2000 with support for Japanese language (of course), and my MD unit has been "tourist'ed" successfully. I did a search on it but came with nothing... So, basically, do I need a Japanese version of SonicStage to upload songs with Japanese characters ?

Hi faelnor,

Yes, I've had the same problem with some of my Japanese CDs - I transfer the music fine but on my English langage SonicStage and Windows the characters fail to be successfully transfered.

However, I installed SonicStage on a traditional Chinese character version of Windows and I DO get the Japanese characters transfered OK. I'm not sure whether its the Chinese language version of SS or the operating system (supporting most common Asian fonts), but you'll probably have a better chance with both! I'm sure its something to do with the fonts (on the OS and SS) and whether they can be supported or not.

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply !

Actually, japanese & chinese characters work very well on my windows, that's what makes it strange. So I was thinking it could be SS-specific... I'll try downloading an asian version of SS and post my results here. tongue.gif

EDIT : whoops, wrong forum..

Great. I am glad you've finally figured it out. Just a note of interest: you can also edit/title/dislplay Japanese/Chinese text with an English version of SonicStage by editing the registry value and launching SonicStage with Microsoft AppLocale. Run a search within the "Software Discussion/FAQ's" section.

* moving this thread accordingly.

Thank you. The workaround you pointed to will only work on Windows XP/2003, but anyway I managed to understand how SS works with the languages. When I need it, I'll simply install a Japanese version of Windows.
