Hi,
when I change something in tags containing "unusual" characters, MM changes them to question marks.
Here's how I can reproduce this:
- Tag a file with artist "ДахаБраха" in external application (tested with MP3Tag and Windows Explorer)
- Add file to play list. Artist is displayed correctly.
- change something in the tags via MM, i.e. genre
- re-add file to playlist. Artist is now "?????????"
Sidenotes:
If I change artist to cyrillic version again in MM, it also becomes question marks.
Fields with latin characters are not affected.
I had this problem with hindi, chinese and cyrillic characters.
Also tested with the hipster band calling themselves "██████". This was changed not to question marks, but to "¦¦¦¦¦¦"
MM Version: 4.1.15.1830 (Problem also occured in the version I previously used, from around 2012)
Windows 7 x64
EDIT
Solved! For whatever reason, in options > Tags & Playlists, ID3v2 text encoding was set to ASCII (always), which, in combination with "Update tags when editing properties", led to the destruction of the tags.
