At the moment many russian users are suffering from the fact that most of mp3 tags are written using CP1251 (windows) encoding while for linux native russian coding is KOI8-R. This patch allows xmms to automatically detect the tags, which are in cp1251 and konvert them into koi8-r. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

Created attachment 12825 [details, diff] Patch for recoding CP1251->KOI8-R Sorry, the first one was tgz. My mistake.
Shouldn't this be included upstream rather than by us? Have you sent this to the xmms devs?
I will definetly send this patch xmms devlopers. However there are a number of problems with this: first of all none has any idea when next xmms will be released (if ether at all). Secondly the simmilar patch existed for earlier versions of XMMS (1.2.4 I guess) but it was NEVER included in xmms. So I believe this should be dealt by you, guys, at least till the upstream devs will do it.
Created attachment 13885 [details, diff] Another version of the patch. This is a newer version of patch. It also provides some GUI settings and allows you choose the encondigs manually. Also it is not limmited to KOI8/CP1251, but has CP866/UTF. P.S. I guess upstream will notice it much sooner, than you actually add this easy patch.
Commited, many thanks :)
Just for furute refference. This patch is taken from http://rusxmms.sourceforge.net/ .
