Author write: The RusXMMS libraries are something more than just encoding auto-detection. The LibRCD is a counterpart of Enca. However, enca was developed to analyze long text files while LibRCD is more optimized to short titles consisting only from few words, like ID3 titles, file names, etc. For short Russian and Unkrainian words it significantly improves detection accuracy. Another, important advantage of LibRCD is ability to detect real ISO8859-1 encoding what allows to properly display correct ID3 v.1 titles. However, just detecting encoding in current language is often not enough. It happens what you are working with lists in multiple languages. I have playlists containing Russian, Chinese, French and German music. Therefore, the library needs to provide ability to manage multiple languages. It is also desirable to specify default encodings for each of language in which the data would be stored back. So, the LibRCC supports few encoding detection engines: LibRCD (Russian, Ukrainian), Enca (East-european languages), LibGUESS (Chinese, Korean, Japanese) and provides transparent recoding in multiple languages. As well it brings support for transliteration, translation (using libtranslate), so you know what all that strange looking Chinese symbols mean. LibRCC also includes UI library providing easy integration of recoding options in the configuration menu of GTK applications. Sorry, my english is bad :(
