Obviously, I *am* amaroK's target market, because I *love* it. > >> Amarok is not a replacement, amarok is an alternative, which is >> exactly what this thread is about. I agree with this statement 'cause what I use xmms for I can't do in amarok, and that is to play 'mod' files. I took someone's suggestion and tried 'audacious'. This was because the package database said something about a 'pending removal' which I interpreted to mean that xmms was being removed from the package database. Despite the fact that I built audacious with 'modplug', which I assumed (maybe wrongly) had something to do with playing 'mod' files, I couldn't get it to play mod files. So, I removed 'audacious' and reinstalled xmms. I unmasked (by commenting the line out) xmms-1.2.10-r15, which is what I had been using since approximately mid-August, with no problems with what I use it for. Granted, this version was masked by ~x86 keyword when I originally installed it in August. Anyway, with respect to the subject line, if my interpretation is correct and xmms is being removed from the package list, what can I use to play 'mod' files?
