How to re-open playlist with cyrillic letters?

shozawog · 20th May 2008, 10:03

Ok, here's my problem.

If I add Cyrillic named files into the Winamp playlist, it displays and plays the files correctly.

Upon saving the playlist, if I open the playlist with an editor that __CAN__ display cyrillic letters, it shows the filename as ???? question marks, thus my problem is there is no way for me to re-open a playlist that contains cyrillic letters in the FILE NAMES because UPON saving it changes the cyrillic letters into question marks?

I'm using The latest version of Winamp, I've tried installing Russian Language pack in Vista, and also tried switching to a Winamp Russian Language pack.

Your help is much appreciated.

Save the playlist into a format that support Unicode characters, namely, M3U8 file.
