Hey guys,

Yeah there aren't any funny characters (at least in the first few MP3s I have loaded). Dr Tag did seem to have a few issues with some of the tags though. I've largely rewritten the tags with Dr Tag so they should be OK. The current ones all have English for all the fields I can see.

The "Chinese" playlist and "chinesepodcom" playlist were created by myself, by hand in jemplode using a normal English PC (i.e. no unicode or anything). That's probably the only difference I can think of compared to any other MP3 I've dropped into my empeg - normally my directory structure would create the playlists for me although I've definitely created manual playlists before with no issue.

My database is built correctly I'm fairly certain - have synced a few times actually trying a couple of things.

Even if the actual MP3s had unicode characters and the player couldn't display them, it should still show my "Chinese" playlist and my "chinesepodcom" playlist below that. There's actually another level below that called "A - Novice". Then it might display "- None -" in which case I could blame the tags.

Hmmm. Thought this was going to be a simple one and I'd done something silly.
