Reading ID3 tags with greek characters.

I have been using your ejukebox program for half a day, and I must say that although it is a great idea, it is almost useless for me right now.

The reason? No support for greek characters whatsoever.
Most of my MP3 collection is of greek music, so all relevant files and ID3 tags are using greek characters.

However, when ejukebox tries to read these tags it just displays a number like 0 for artist and 03 for track name.
Also while all tracks have jpgs embedded in them (using itunes) it does not display them.
And of course the A-Z bar on the left is useless to me since the program tries to find songs starting with english letters.

So as it stands this great little program is completely useless to me. Could you please PLEASE come up with a patch or a version which would include support for intl characters?

Also ejukebox's tag renaming abilities are really limited. It cannot rename many mp3 files at once (unless I am doing something wrong), so adding more to that departmet would be a good idea.

Finally, the program's feel/layout. Although quite impressive at first, it doesn't feel right...
Many times I press the buttons on the top and nothing happens. Feels a little like a broken toy sometimes...

This is a great program! Please include us "foreigners" in the game! :)

Cheers
Nick


EDIT#1: I should also note that I just found out it is not doing a good job handling english titled mp3 either! :(
I tried loading a folder with 3 foreign albums, all of which have english titles etc. and jpgs in the folders, but the program doesn't find any album titles.

Also why does it have to play a song to find its album cover?? This takes over 1 minute per song only to report that it can't find anything! :( I am not impressed by this...:(

EDIT#2: The said folder has 9 albums in it. However, the program only found 5 albums. Why is that?? If the miss ratio is so high, ejukebox is a big no-no. :(:(
