* The use of TCP sockets also allows for users to remotely control XMMS2 daemons over a TCP/IP network.

While the plugin architecture of XMMS allowed it to be quite extensible, it was inefficient in certain ways; XMMS2 seeks to improve on that.
* XMMS has Input plugins that take care of reading data and decoding it to audio. XMMS2 splits this into a Transport stage and a Decode stage, so that a single transport plugin may supply data of any type to any decoder plugin
 (such as an HTTP plugin supplying mp3 data from a web site).
* General plugins may prove to be less relevant in XMMS2, as their purpose may be served by clients, but the plugin architecture will still exist (see paragraph above).
* XMMS can't handle container formats in a general manner. The XMMS2 architecture makes it easier to build support for container formats.
