The current code assums UTF-8 as encoding for the MPD responses. This might not be correct for all libraries. The application therefore needs an option to specify the encoding as connection parameter on the Server panel. When left blank, fall back to UTF-8.

The Request section of the protocol spec says that

All data between the client and the server is encoded in UTF-8.

I am not sure if this applies only to requests or also to responses. Additionally I am not sure if this is new since version 0.21 or has been the case for earlier versions, too.

As I have no way to test any other encoding than UTF-8, I am going to assume that MPD servers use UTF-8 for all strings as the protocol documentation states.
