An audio player.

A really fucking inexcusably-ugly audio player. Thankfully abandoned.

• Note that xmms.org is not their website! See What ever happened to XMMS.ORG?

• Can use the libSIDPlay2 plugin to play Commodore SID audio. See Oldschool music.
• XMMS2 might have been a replacement, but it’s apparently abandoned too.

• bmp was meant to be a GTK port, but it was ultimately abandoned.

• 2016-04-19 – 1.2.11, on Slackware 14.1
• 2007-09-17 – Replaced by Audacious
• 2007-04-21 – 1.2.10 on (distribution not recorded)
• 2003-09-05 – (version not recorded) on (distribution not recorded)

• I had been using this for a long long time. Since probably back in my original Slackware days.

This came installed. For some reason. I guess because it’s light or has few dependencies or something? Or .. well, Slackware is being Slackware.

Gods damn its UI is terribad.

• control-3 can’t be closed by pressing escape. Sad.
• Mysteriously, xmms still displays things in its scrolling title line which I can’t see with control-3.

• alt-e twice, and then switch desktops, suddenly xmms is sticky to all desktops. =(

–

• I want to remove the extra title wigits from xmms. I suppose it’s my skin painting those things.
• XMMS is too small. “double mode” is fucking embarrassing. If there was a +25% or +50% mode I’d be happier.

• XMMS InfoPipe plugin

Skins ∞

installing xmms skins:

1. Copy the .zip file to ~/.xmms/Skins/
2. alt-s

3. select your skin

My favourite skin is XMMS-LighthouseBlue.zip. It’s clean and simple.

• XMMS constantly is looping trying to re-play a file that has been moved bogs down, of all things, VMWare. So does running a guest which runs X.. sigh.
