    So, I recently upgraded from my Windows 7 Ultimate Beta to Windows 7 Pro and realized half of my chinese music has broken encoding (it's all just gibberish now) which probably means I lost a font pack going from ultimate to Pro. However, that's not the case. I recently realized that for the same album, some chinese characters are showing while others are being gibberish. The only explanation is that I personally typed in the song title using windows and now windows 7 pro isnt' showing that encoding. Does anybody have any idea why this could be?
