I looked around and only found a post about guessing values, switching fields and all. Not what I want. I only want to filter songs that have japanese characters. I tried using this $regexp(%title%,'[\x00-\x7F]+',) which selects non-ascii characters, but it didn't work in the filter bar.

[image] blazinho: that worked!! This should be the complete set of filters for japanese characters in the tag TITLE: TITLE MATCHES [\x{3041}-\x{3096}|\x{30A0}-\x{30FF}] OR TITLE MATCHES [\x{3400}-\x{4DB5}|\x{4E00}-\x{9FCB}|\x{F900}-\x{FA6A}] OR TITLE MATCHES [\x{2E80}-\x{2FD5}] OR TITLE MATC…

See e.g. here: [image] Filtering Chinese or Japanese Characters? Support Hi, is there any way to filter files which could contain Chinese or Japanese characters?

neither worked T-T it apparently only filters out 2 songs out of 3713, and it shows songs that don't have japanese characters
