| 1) Select under winXP|Start Menu|Settings|Control Panel|Regional Settings
| 2) Select Languages tab-> Install files for East Asian Language
| 3) Reboot
| 4) Select under winXP|Start Menu|Settings|Control Panel|Regional Settings

| (Hong Kong SAR) or Chinese (Taiwan)
| 6) Reboot
| 
| I found that the above would display songs name in Traditional Chinese for

| 
| Issues:
| 1) It does NOT display chinese name for some MP3s
| 2) When opening up webpages, which does not has the following tags, the
| character encoding defaults to Chinese Traditional(BIG-5)
|    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
| 
| Question:
| How could I get Media Player 9 to display chinese song names for all songs
| without affecting the default character encoding for web pages displayed in
| IE?
