[mirtoolbox] Re: mp3 files in foreign characters

Hi Lix,
Sorry for this late reply. It seems that Matlab has some problem dealing with Chinese characters in general. For instance, if you evaluate simply the string '刘若英.mp3', what you get as a result is: 


>> '刘若英.mp3'

ans =

.mp3
Here, the Chinese characters have been simply excluded from the string. Do you observe the same behaviour in your Matlab version? If yes, then it seems that you will have to rename your files using non- Chinese characters. 

Regards,

Olivier

Hi,
I'm trying to read in .mp3 songs and folders containing mp3 files with chinese characters using miraudio('刘若英'). However, I keep getting error shown below that I cannot open the file. Is it something to do with my system settings or foreign characters are not accepted in mirtoolbox? Hope you could help me with resolving this problem. 

??? Error using ==> cd
Cannot CD to C:\Pop\ (Directory access failure).

??? Error using ==> mirread at 49
ERROR: Cannot open file 

Error in ==> mireval at 82
    [d1,tp1,fp1,f1] = mirread([],file,0,0,0);

Error in ==> mirfunction at 82
            o = mireval(o,filename);

Error in ==> miraudio.miraudio at 153
varargout = mirfunction(@miraudio,orig,varargin,nargout,specif,@init,@main); 

I look forward to your reply. Thanks a lot.

Regards,
Lix
