I was a diehard XMMS fan. Then I noticed news about its imminent death, and I sadly looked for alternatives. I once did *hate* players like amaroK, but in its latest version is a killer app. It just works, and works well. And simple features like instant search, wikipedia search and shuffling become rapidly interesting. The only downside is a small memory leak that becomes noticeable after a few days. I'd love an XMMS with amaroK features, or better an amaroK with a deep XMMS look-n-feel. > Anyway, I don't know if you know last.fm (you could take a look), but > Amarok's integration with that site is wonderful.
