I am maintaining my website in an Indian language called "Marathi". I created the metadata in unicode for all the audio files that I uploaded on the website. Then I realized that the "browse by" feature was not working properly. Just to isolate the issue, I changed all the metadata tags to English and it is working fine. However, I would like to have the metadata tags in the core language in which the website is maintained.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem with Japanese characters in my meta data. I think the problem is in the audio_clean_tag function; it strips out non-alphanumeric characters, so if you have a piece of meta-data that contains only non-alphanumeric characters, the entire string gets replaced by an underscore.

I tried a janky hack where if the result of the audio_clean_tag was a single underscore "_" character, then just did an md5 hash on the original string. It sorta worked out... but now my Browse by views show an ugly MD5 hash, instead of the actual tag. Can't win 'em all I guess.

Anyone else have any ideas on this?
