Unicode Support id tags in Node 2i - or support for foreign language tags

I have been rippring my cd collection to a NAS and streaming it on my new node 2i.

When I have to deal with foreign language cd's I have been manually changing the tags to English.
But this is not a sustainable workflow.
If I use a ripper that supports unicode, will the node 2I be able to display the artist and song titles properly.

In this case I am ripping Israeli cd's with tags in Hebrew. The same question would be for Arabic, Chinese, etc. (Languages that don't use latin alphabet.)

Thanks,

Michael

  Hi Michael

  The BluOS firmware on your NODE fully supports UTF-8 for foreign language support - please check your metadata source as we do in fact support non-latin character sets for Japanese, Chinese and Korean - I can't speak for Hebrew as I haven't personally come across it but have no reason to doubt it will work or our Israeli based Distribution Team would have notified us quite some time ago.

  Thanks for the quick reply.
  I will probably have to change my cd ripper because the open source one I am using does not seem to support it.
  But that is a minor issue. Sol long as the firmware is good for it - that is the main thing..

  Will there be any issue with displaying the titles in the Windows or Android apps?
  I would have to assume not - unless there are different apps for foreign use.

  Thanks,

  Michael

  The Apps are designed with the BluOS Firmware in mine - you should be good to go
