Originally, the project was aimed to provide means to work with multiple encodings
* language autodetection
* on the fly translation between languages, using online-services!
* encoding autodetection for most of european languages1
* support for encoding detection plugins (besides enca and librcd)
* recoding/translation of multi-language playlists!
* cache to speed-up re-recoding.
* possibility to configure new languages and encodings.
* shared configuration file. for example mentioned taglib and
libid3 patches do not have their own user interface, but will
utilize the same recoding configuration as xmms.
* as well the separate program for configuration adjustment is
available.
* gtk/gtk2 ui library: you can add properties page to your gtk+
application with 3 lines of code.
* menu localization opportunity
