MediaMonkey forum

Converting a WMA having non-ASCII characters to WAV causes them to appear garbaged in other programs (e.g. WinAmp, Goldwave).

E.g. Diacritics: áéíóúüñ appears as Diacritics: áéíóúüñ

The same WMA converted in GoldWave or dbpoweramp Batch Converter appears fine in MM and other programs.

That's a shame - it breaks compliance with the WAV standard.

Good workaround - thanks. By the way, that article is incorrect in:

For users who prefer that ASCII always be used, even though it can't represent
foreign characters, the lines below should be added to the MediaMonkey.ini file:

since with those lines added, MM WAV /does/ represent foreign characters such as those reported.

And actually causes the further problem of failing to read compliant files e.g. title El huracán in a regular file is showed by the MM player as El hurac.
