i really like this app, but could someone please add support to play from a playlist? i put all of my asian-names songs in a single playlist and it would be better to play them from there than from genre-specific categories. or add functionality to reorganize the songs by album, artist, and all songs in alphabetical order.
*BUGS* shuffle doesn't work (will choose a random song then quickly switch back to the next sequential song in the list) and some songs are only partially displayed if displayed at all, though they can still be "highlighted".
I have a 30gb Zune (v3.1) and I hope I could have Chinese character support installed too.
I downloaded the package jazp0.1.rar and deployed it in C# express 2008. After deploying, my Zune is able to display clock but I didn't find any new language installed through settings -> language. Still only English, Frence, and Spanish available.

Please help. Thanks a lot!
Update: fixed!
This thing is a game application. find it under the Games menu.
Just installed this, and I really like the fact that now I can read Chinese text. So thanks OP! The interface does take some getting use to. And I really wish there is way to turn off the backlighting.
I noticed the browsing was a bit sluggish, hope it's normal.
Hi, I just got a Zune 30GB. I really want the Asian Language Support.
Thanks for your sharing. But how can I make your jazp0.11rar work in my Zune? I am new to Zune, please help.
After followed the instructions, I deployed the app to my Zune. It works well! Thank you very much for your solution to support Asian Characters! But I have a question: once I get into your app, how can I go back to the main menu of Zune rather than restart the player?

You can not. The Zune restarts after any non-official XNA game/app is closed.
Only I don't know windows programming except matlab ( work related), which can't display Korean properly.
The font file format, on the other hand, is pretty straightforward. There is no header. The dimension of a glyph can be adjusted. A Chinese glyph is 13x13. One byte for one dot on the screen, thus one Chinese glyph is 13x13=169 bytes. The size of font13.dat is 3,532,438 bytes, containing 20902 Chinese chars. Japanese font is little bit different, Hiragana and Katakana are included in font13j.dat, while Kanji is in font13.dat already.
Read the zune program code might help understanding.
This appears to be the best method available for what I am looking for with a 30GB Zune with FW v3.2. Please let me know if I am correct.
I am interested in expanding this program to include Korean font. I have the image file with 20k characters, each 13x13 pixels. I just need an example of how to code a single character and how the program loads the correct character from unicode. I am assuming the first 22 characters are blank, as nothing is drawn for them, or should they just be skipped entirely.
Okay, finished updating it for Korean, but I find it takes a long time to load. I may look for alternative solution before final release, and seeing if I can incorporate playlist support.
Thank you so much!!!! I tried so hard to modify my firmware to v1.2 to support Chinese characters but that firmware is no where to be found. Now I have somewhat of the language support all due to your great efforts. Keep it up. You are one step shy of god from my point of view. BTW, can I add my font of choice by modifying your program?
