More on Japanese in Windows

If you just ripped your Japan­ese music col­lec­tion only to find out Win­dows Ex­plorer can’t dis­play any of the tags, you prob­a­bly used ID3 v2.4. Win­dows does not sup­port 2.4—if you down­grade the files to ID3 v2.3, every­thing will dis­play just fine. A good tool that can do this en masse is Mp3­tag. This doesn’t only af­fect the UTF-8 fields: Win­dows won’t be able to read album art or any­thing else if you use v2.4.
