Here I am bumping another really old thread...
I don't use the xml interface very often, but every time I do, I'm impressed with how slick it is! Nice job, charcoalgray99!
Only recently have I noticed one problem: in IE (6.0), the View -> Encoding menu is greyed out. Without it, I can't get non-english song/playlist titles to appear properly.
Is this a problem with IE and the way it processes XML? If I go to about:blank, I can pick encodings there. I don't ever use IE (I'm a Moz'er) so maybe my IE isn't set right...
Or is there a spot in one of the xml and/or html files on the empeg where I can force a specific encoding for my player?
