The most important features are:
- Ability to reencode mp3/ogg/wma to mp3/ogg
- contains utility 'convertor' which converts whole directories to desired
	format. Bitrate, etc. is automatically adjusted depending on settings
	and source audio. See users-guide for further information.
- supports reading/writing tags in MP3 ID3v1 and ID3v2, Ogg Vorbis
- supports reading WMA tags
- supports FreeDB, treates encoded files as if it was CD, so you can simply
	select your files and - if found in database - write tags to them.
	Nifty, isn't it? =)
- supports auto tagging - reads tag information from filename
- supports batch tags editing
- supports batch files renaming (can use tags)
- supports directory renaming (can use tags)

Okay, I've discovered bug, what do I do now?
1) If you know python, you can send me bug-report with (please..) patch.
