    Is there a way for Windows Media PLayer 10 or 11 to show Japanese song titles or artists? So far, the only solution I have is to run iTunes and change my computer to Japanese or Hong Kong mode.

    Couple o' options...

    1) Try to get your hands on a copy of Japanese IME
    2) Run Win XP Pro
    3) Run Japanese XP Home

    That's really all I can think of. What language is your copy of XP?

    My copy of XP is the US copy. Right now, the language for non-unicode programs (from regional and language settings in control panel) is Chinese (Hong Kong S.A.R.). With this setting, I can see Chinese, Japanese and Korean song titles in iTunes but not in windows media player. There's not pack or update i can get so Windows Media Player can read the song titles and artist names?
