Thank You for the tip. I looked at mpd also (only on web page). It
have probably good posibility to control it via command line. But what
about xosd support? (Which I mention in my previous post.) I do not
see any info on page about it.

What bothers me also, is that it has not plugin design like
xmms. Support for plugins is very good because lot of people can write
plugins for lot of things. This is why people do not want to switch
from xmms because thanks to plugins it have so many features that
currently no player is able to overcome it.

Also I read that it is not possible to play file without addind it to
mpd's database.(?) It seems to be clumsy.

Can it play streams from internet? Maybe I should install it and look
at it more closely.

Robert
