Tags
Adjust Tags menu settings if the Rio Forge displays random alphabet characters instead of the correct ID3 Tags .
The Rio Forge supports Latin- and Japanese-based languages. If ID3 tags are displayed properly then Tags menu
settings do not need to be changed.
Rio Music Manager encodes tracks tags using the Unicode method. Properly tagged (Unicode) tracks are unaf-
fected by changes to the Tags menu settings. All WMA tracks are Unicode.
