Korea alphabet support in indexing

Postby kwankyu » Wed Feb 15, 2012 8:31 am

Hi Sindre,

First of all, thank you very much for the excellent software. I am using it to stream my Korean music files. Their titles are in Korean. There is no problem in the display of them, but is a problem in specifying the group indexing. A Korean syllable is not a single letter like in English, but consists of two or three or even four letters. For example, the first syllable "이" of my name "이관규" consists of two letters "ㅇ" and "ㅣ", where the first is a consonant and the second is a vowel. There are 14 consonant letters and 13 vowel letters in Korean. If you think of the possible combinations, then there are too many syllables that can appear as the first syllable of the titles. So we use only the FIRST LETTER of the FIRST SYLLABLE in group indexing. Then in the Subsonic setting, I need to specify

ㅇ(이아어 ... all possible syllables with the first letter "ㅇ"),

which is virtually impossible. So my feature request is to allow a specification like



such that I don't need to list all those syllables within parentheses. I hope I am understood. I think this problem can be solved with fiddling with Unicode. Thank you for attention.
