Selecting the text encoding type of music information (Text encoding)
When the WAV format is selected for the [Import CD] function to embed music information in a file, you can select the text encoding type of music information to be saved to the LIST chunk. If the text encoding type of the music information embedded in a music file cannot be determined, the text encoding type that you selected here will be used for displaying music information.
- Select [Settings] - [System Settings] in the Home screen.
- Select [Text encoding].
- Select [Japanese (Shift-JIS)], [Chinese (GB18030)] (*1), [Latin (ISO-8859-1)] (*2) or [Unicode (UTF-8)].
*1 Factory default setting (models for China)
*2 Factory default setting (models except for China)
Hint
- As the WAV LIST chunk does not contain explicit information about which text coding type is used, every music file management software application uses the text encoding type that it assumes to be appropriate in its own way for reading music information. When music information of a WAV file saved by the [Import CD] function is not correctly displayed on your music file management software, changing the text encoding type may solve the problem.
