I still regularly use a collection of shell scripts that call out to a set of players including (but not limited to) mplayer, ogg123, madplay, and audioplay. I tried xmms for a while since modplug is more complete than mikmod these days, but find the bitmapped interface an absolute joke. I'm heavily of the opinion that song library management (including download/upload), playlist managment, and replaying should be distinctly separate activities handlable by separate pieces of software. I hate excessive integration that can't be decomposed. even emacs is more modular than itunes. -- Aaron J. Grier | "Not your ordinary poofy goof." | agr...@poofygoof.com
