Re: Converting Unicode music files

Right now, I've got my Axim x50v...and a heap of Japanese songs...

Before, I used to convert them all to 128mb to store on my Axim, and I used Windows Media player. All my songs are mp3s. Why did I use Windows Media player? Because it's one of the few programs that can acutally support UNICODE filenames, and still convert files...

Now, it's not converting some of the files for some reason, and I'd like to stay in mp3 format (because going from WMA to Mp3 causes quality loss)....

So if anyone knows such a program...I would love to know about it!

In both GS player and WindowsMedia Player

Yeah...it has no problems displaying Japanese...but it's when you try and convert files into a different bitrate back on the desktop is when it loses it...
