Obviously, I *am* amaroK's target market, because I *love* it. |

I agree with this statement 'cause what I use xmms for I can't do in |
| 15 |
amarok, and that is to play 'mod' files. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I took someone's suggestion and tried 'audacious'. This was because the |
| 18 |
package database said something about a 'pending removal' which I |
| 19 |
interpreted to mean that xmms was being removed from the package database. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Despite the fact that I built audacious with 'modplug', which I assumed |
| 22 |
(maybe wrongly) had something to do with playing 'mod' files, I couldn't |
| 23 |
get it to play mod files. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
So, I removed 'audacious' and reinstalled xmms. I unmasked (by |
| 26 |
commenting the line out) xmms-1.2.10-r15, which is what I had been using |
| 27 |
since approximately mid-August, with no problems with what I use it for. |
| 28 |
Granted, this version was masked by ~x86 keyword when I originally |
| 29 |
installed it in August. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Anyway, with respect to the subject line, if my interpretation is |
| 32 |
correct and xmms is being removed from the package list, what can I use |
| 33 |
to play 'mod' files? |
| 34 |
