I agree with this. Amarok is not good replacement for xmms. It has |
| 22 |
another philosophy which is similar to Windows Media Player. It has |
| 23 |
also much higher requirements for resources in runtime and also in |
| 24 |
dependecies/build time. Especially for non KDE users. |

Yes, audacious is closest replacement that I found in stable amd64 |
| 29 |
tree. It has same philosophy as xmms. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
But it missing several features. For me it is mainly gapless output, |
| 32 |
xosd support and wide posibilites to control it via command line |
| 33 |
(like xmms-pipe). Consider also tons of plugins for xmms. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I have emerged audacious to watch its development but I will stay with |
| 36 |
xmms as long as it will be possible. |
