You seriously can't compare XMMS to Winamp. When I was using Linux as my main desktop OS I tried a few players, looking for Winamp alternative. Didn't find any and went with one of those full-blown media-library nightmares (I used Amarok but I guess banshee or rhytmbox would be about the same). But back to XMMS (or few other winamp clones): Only thing they had in common was the UI. Function-wise it was nowhere near. Anything you could thik of in Winamp just wasn't there.
I had similar problems to find any totalcmd replacement.. and again, there isn't anything close (I ended up with Krusader I think, but it wasn't anywhere near).
- Aardwolf 14y agoHmm, I guess you needed some really specific parts of Winamp then... Because for me all features I use, both have in common: play mp3's and other file types, have a playlist that effortlessly contains all your thousands of songs, the "j" shortcut to quickly jump to one, display the name and length. The only thing xmms hasn't is shift+v to fade out.
