USB playback issue

[Kuakuafu]

Why is the music file displayed by the application not the song name, but the garbled name when using Wiim Ultra to view the USB song catalogue?

Could you share a screenshot of the "garbled name" in the WiiM app and the tags of the impacted file using the Extended Tags dialog of Mp3tag?

My guess is that the Track title tags are not filled correctly/completely. In this case the WHA will display the file name.

Please show us your tags as requested by simbun. The above screenshots won't help us in finding the problem.
On the other hand - Are your tags in Chinese? Does the WiiM support Chinese tags? The question marks suggest that this might not be the case.

The album features Chinese songs

@Kuakuafu .. do you have any music on your usb tagged in a different language, that way you could compare.
Maybe the issue is related to translation.

This is what Google‘s AI shows me regarding Chinese tags in audio files.

Okay, thank you everyone. I'm trying again, thank you for your hard work

I don't have an indexing WiiM so I tested the open source server (MiniDLNA) upon which WiiM is based with 3 tracks:

ID3v2.3 UTF-16       01.01.mp3
ID3v2.4 UTF-8        01.02.mp3
FLAC                 01.03.flac

NOTE: I didn't test ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1 as I know it won't work, and I didn't really need to test FLAC as I believe it's always UTF-8.

These are the common encodings in MP3, though I believe UTF-8 is also possible (supported?) in ID3v2.3.

All 3 tracks were displayed correctly (I think) in the WiiM Home app (WHA), so it seems that support is there, but not for the encoding used in your tracks.


Mp3tag can be used to display the common encodings, but I don't think it's always possible:


I'm happy to take a look at a sample track.

It should be an issue with the encoding of the original song file, which is not displaying correctly. Thank you
