[QUOTE="rtv, post: 204051, member: 12309"] I've checked the code - everything is done in UTF8 and does work out of the box. Unfortunately I guess your system cannot handle the Japanese artists. Therefore I asked the last.fm staff and got the answer that they already plan to add a login mechanism for the webrequests. The disadvantage: they could track the requests by username then - like user "xyz" does similar artist lookups for "Utada Hikaru". The advantage: the user profile's settings can be used including artist name translation. In addition it might be possible to query geographical data, get personalized recommendations, etc. Finally I've prepared the code to translate the results from UTF8 into e.g. the System's ANSI-Codepage. This however is not a lossless step and therefore not activated by default as only systems supporting Japanese could parse the XML-Data correct then. [/QUOTE]
