About '~' and '〜'
Which should we use in Japanese track title?

Do you mean ASCII '~' and Unicode '~'? Never ever use Unicode in English track lists (because of freedb). Other than that it's just determining which is being used.

Well, I just got a wiki page for these characters: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilde Now it is much clear. These two can be found in many pages in freedb, VGMdb and MusicBrainz in various album titles and track titles: ~ U+FF5E FULLWIDTH TILDE 〜 U+301C WAVE DASH They are very similar and both takes two spaces. This page might be the key: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B3%...82%B7%E3%83%A5 My Japanese is not good, it would be nice if someone would like to translate it. |

If you want Unicode, use Japanese. |

EDIT: Ah, I see you mean. So this would require a on-the-fly conversion of UTF8 to ASCII on the server, and that's not going to work unless one specifies to what non-ASCII characters are mapped to. Quote:
Same applies to filesystem. FAT32 supports Unicode, NTFS as well. Last edited by LiquidAcid; Sep 10, 2012 at 08:20 AM. |

So the "English" tracklist should always be limited to the ASCII character set? I think this needs to be set as a rule as I'm pretty sure there are already tracklists called "English" while actually having track titles containing characters of other Western languages not included in the limited 7bit ASCII set.

Well I got this cheap mp3 player which I always carry with me, and although it does support unicode, I could imagine this is an area where you can still encounter non-unicode systems. I dont really know though :-)
