#1 UTF-8 support
Most Linux distros nowadays mount all file systems with UTF-8 enabled. Non-UTF, non-ASCII file names are rather exotic. When I downloaded and compiled headunit-0.3 I have noticed that it wouldn't play files with UTF-8 in the path and wouldn't display their respective track names properly. Here is a patch which made HeadUnit usable for me (it now plays all the tracks in my collection). I have not tested it on Windows, but I imagine XP and 2000 also use UTF-8 in file names.
