Automatic metadata transliteration

A very interesting feature which would add to the Songbird experience would be automated transliteration of artist, song, album, and composer names.

Although actually changing the embedded or displayed information about a song might confuse a user, it would be very nice if searching "Yuki Kajiura", "Kajiura Yuki", or "梶浦由記" would each return the same results, though the system might not be feasible for Kanji or other alphabets with multiple possible readings for a single character. Despite this, I think a system for dealing with hiragana, katakana, and other alphabets with unambiguous pronunciation (Greek and Hebrew are unambiguous, I think...) would not be impossible to implement.
