Unicode tags & OS2008 media players

maemo 9 Comments

I uploaded some mp3 files into my OS2008. Some of them have Russian (UTF-8) tags. And … what a disappointment. Shiny new Canola shows total crap instead of Russian. Most of other players too. The only decent ones turned to be (drums roll…) MediaBox and Kilikali. Audio Tag Tool specially intended for editing tags – falls flat when it comes to UTF-8. Are we in 2008 or 1998?

n810 memory module format: Why?

I would really love to look in the eyes of the person who decided that n810 should use MiniSD. And I would ask that person to find the card (on ebay or anywhere else) of 8GB or larger capacity (preferably, class 4 or better). Dealing with MicroSD->MiniSD adapters is a bit too much trouble…

MiniSD is nearly dead, as I can see. MicroSD and SD are reasonably popular. So why on Earth they’ve chosen the worst of 3?… SD on n800 was a very good idea – I could take the card from my Nikon d80 and show the photos straight on the tablet (thanks to great Canola).
