http://zetto.ru/mp3/guf-glaza.mp3
http://zetto.ru/mp3/basta-ta-ta.mp3

tags are imported in some unknown encoding, like this Êîíöåðò â êëóáå ÔÎÐÏÎÑÒ, and i can't play tracks with this

I downloaded the last file to test, basta-ta-ta.mp3 I opened it up in jaikoz which uses utf-8 and the file id3 tags contained the following:

Title: Òû òà...
Artist: Áàñòà
Year: 2006
Track No: 06/13
Genre: Rap
Track Total: 13

If that info is incorrect then it is probably tagged wrong.

MC was able to read it for me with the information above, and created an artist name and song name that matched above. However when I clicked on the album link the page did not show any zero info. I am guessing either because of joomla default seo, or maybe something with MC not liking an incorrectly tagged mp3 /shrug.

I would try fixing your tags first, then see if MC can read it.

so can it be fix? I need russian more then eng mp3...

hello! I did receive your files. I'll be looking into it shortly. I'll keep you posted.

Hello, how are things? Do not forget about my problem?

no! I don't! didn't you read the previous message from @greengeek? it could be a problem with the coding of the ID3 tags... what program are you using for it? iTunes?

some tracks coding is ok, but upload is not ok, i see track but can't play them

ok.maybe it's the filename characters. can you post a link where this happens? (song not playing)

http://cult-portal.ru/home/music/27-mara/29-dva-mira

this page contains no songs... what kind of menu item is it? other songs play fine...!

some tracks when i add him, becomes like this /var/tmp/phpgDMt78
and no contain mp3, but in server folder it's successfuly uploaded...

I downloaded Kevin Bluemel's latest free song from his website and changed the title from The End of Autumn, to what google translator tells me the Russian word for autumn is, осень. I then saved the tag in jaikoz and loaded it on my MC test site. MC displayed the song name correctly in both the album and song layouts as well as the was able to play it in both the jw player plugin and jw player module.

Here is a copy of the song with the title changed to the Russian word:

http://threechimps.com/autumn.mp3

Just right click and do a save as, and you should be able to save the song. I would be curious if it works on your website.

Also, if you have a song that does not work, please post a link directly to the song, as well as what the song title, album title, and artist should be. I can update the tags of the song with that info and test it out.

i upload this track on my sait, and same problem...

http://cult-portal.ru/music/32-var-tmp-php9vj7ng

so, maybe some php setting wrong? why track has such name, like tmp file?

i upload again and it ok...

Sounds like it might be a problem with how your music is tagged. If you want to post one of the broken songs. Along with including in the post what the Russian text should be for the artist, album, and title. I would be happy to tag one and re post it for you to test.


I would also recommend making sure that all the file names contain only English alphabet characters. So A-Z, a-z, 0-9, etc. Being that MC links to the songs directly, instead of storing the url in the database, when it presents the urls to the jw player, I would not use any foreign characters in the file names. However you should be good to use them in the actual mp3 id3 tags as well as the text fields.

@alva I'd like to take a look at this problem myself. could you send me joomla admin access details at joomlamusicsolutions@gmail.com?

what soft i need to use, for good tagging?

i don't use any programms for tags, just test some mp3 files...
and i think with russian it is problem, becouse i upload some files in other services, and it's ok... it just converting and reconverting... and it's ok. I can retag some files, but users i think, they just quit and will forgot about upload... (

i send you information

I find some other other problem!!!

When i create a new artists, in the already finished album, i'm using russian text, it's create but link was broken...

hello!
1) I just send you an email about the first issue. defiintely is a problem with the encoding on the file...! it's not a MC problem...

2) hmm.. I see this problem you mention. it's pretty weird.. could it be SEF? could you provide me FTP access?
