Problem example: Paste into the TITLE field: Für Elise
This is accepted OK at the time. Later I find it changed to: F�r Elise.

This corruption occurs whenever an umlaut, cedilla, tilde, accent, etc is a component of a character.
How do I overcome this problem?

The corruption is a utf8 tag it is your player which cannot read utf8. which audio format are you using?

Thanks for the response. The audio files are ".wav" and being displayed using standard Windows Explorer as provided by Win7 Professional on a 64bit PC.
I am new to this "game" - and I could not see where there were any character coding options in Explorer.
Any further clues you could provide would be appreciated. Regards,

The tags explorer reads are WAVE LIST tags, wave list does not allow non-english tags, dBpoweramp writes a UTF-8 tag in the hope the player (such as media monkey?) can decode.
