BeoSound 5 Encore Foreign (Greek) track listings

Hello everyone, it must have been over 2 years since my last post, partly avoiding the temptation to buy anything but also quite busy. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any luck with getting their BS5e to display the track names of Greek songs (or any other non-Latin language characters). I get lovely (not!) boxes all over the place even though I can see them perfectly on iTunes. So close, yet so far...

As we are currently considering a BS5 Encore as well, and as our music database contains plenty of ñçéêííö, etc., etc., it would be interesting to hear from current owners how well does BS5E deal with such characters.

No problem on my side, I sometimes see those squares on some downloaded tracks, but as soon as I tag them correctly (using Tag for my flac files, iTunes for the others), I get everything displayed correctly : French, Icelandic and other strange characters are displayed...

Perhaps a bit off topic... but i have the same problem on my beocentre 2 display..  Anything with a å, ø  etc comes up as track number 14 etc

I've never been able to fix it!!!!  Even though in Itunes its perfectly fine.

I'm thinking this maybe has something to do with the DLNA-server you are using. Does it work if you load music on a usb stick and connect it directly? Which server are you using? And which are you using, mbee?

Thanks for all the replies, I haven't tried the USB technique, but on the DLNA (WD cloud 2TB) running twonki, it shows up fine using the wd2go app (iPad) and no problems with iTunes. I ripped it and encoded the track listing with Unicode but still no luck, I'll try the USB thing soon
