XMMS2's media library is well integrated with the playlist. This integration means that every file or stream added to the playlist has its metadata automatically cached by  the media library. 
(This only happens once for every unique URL, so metadata isn't read again if it already exists in the library). Besides metadata, the media library can also quickly and efficiently store and reload playlists (as well as import and export them), making a user's music collection all accessible from a single place.

One feature of XMMS2 that has been rarely implemented in media players is its client-server architecture. XMMS2 allows the user to choose from a number of interface implementations for searching, selecting and playing media, then to close the interface while the audio plays "in the background". The interface can be reopened at any time for further use. Other players with similar features on *nix include the [[Music Player(contracted; show full)
