Incompadible with certain mp3 types?
« on: January 19, 2008, 01:08:01 pm »
This game has encouraged me to expand a little interest into j-rock. I tried playing a few mp3s of the stuff but only some of them work. I think I remember hearing somewhere that the different types of mp3 compression...I don't quite remember, but this game goes awesome with j-rock, so I think this would be a good feature to invest in.

The error I get is "Playback error 2".
I mostly play as the Ninja Mono, but I occasionally like to play as the eraser, or as I call it, the "ethnic cleanser"!

Check the filenames. Audiosurf doesn't support Japanese in the filenames, but it has no problems with Japanese in the id3 tags (well, except displaying it). I've brought this up in the discussion area.

I believe this happens with pretty much ALL non-English filenames (well, if it's not in standard A-Z, 0-9 basic character sets). I know it happens with Korean as well, and at least angstrom-a for me.

Hmm. Having to rename every song with an iota of a foreign letter in it would be a real choir. This isn't something I would drop just because it's fixable on MY end. What if someone from Japan played this game? Or Europe? It's regular BS!

Plus, the title has nothing to do with the data INSIDE the mp3, so I really don't get what the problem is.
