I agree about XMMS. But then Debian took it away so i tried switching to
XMMS2. But since XMMS2 sucks, i had to look for something else. Now i
use audacious, which is a fork-of-a-fork of XMMS. It seems to work
about the same, though i had to adjust some of the scripts i'd written
and bound to my window manager's keyboard shortcuts (for things like
pausing the music when the screensaver activates, or un/pausing when i
hit logo-p).
