Also, what happens when a disc with Kanji titles is inserted into a unit
which does not know how to display them?

Something else that has been bothering me

I know that there are Kanji-abled version in Japan and am curious if the
Kanji displays in an English-only player. Anyone know?

Sure! There aren't localized versions AFAIK, I think, without
being sure that the only "special" are japanese units; the rest are all
"english".

MD: Characters available for titling MDs

2000-02-03 Thread J. C. R. Davis


Would anything else like to see more characters available in the number
available for titling tracks and discs? I would like to see square
brackets, which I would use for secondary information instead of the
pointy sort (if creating a copy of an album, I will put the year of
release and method of copying in the disc title [e.g. "<1995; CD-d>" --
the last part means the source was a CD, and the transfer was digital]).
Also, accented characters would be a nice touch, I think. Any other
ideas?
