Heh. Being a nobody would give me *lots* of free time. Yay !

Well I guess you should try vim to edit playlists + mpg123

Still doesn't change the fact that XMMS is a dead project.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=40823
xmms    1.2.6   January 7, 2002

It still uses glib/gtk 1.x (must be pretty much the last package that
uses it on the whole distro).

http://cvs.xmms.org/cvsweb.cgi/xmms/
Last time most files have been touched is 2 years, 3 years, 5 years, ...

That's hardly anything like actively maintained, and hence: "xmms is
dead, get over it"
I wonder how sort of insulting me is going to change anything about that
fact.

There are forks, branches, new developments, whatever, but the xmms
project itself is a dead horse.

cheers
