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.

Never tried it. Thanks for the tip.
