“XMMS allows its capabilities to be enhanced via the use of
plug-ins. An extensive list exists at XMMS’ own website. But today,
we’re going to take a look at the best of them. All of these
plug-ins, I’ve tested only on my Debian PowerPC machine, so all the
“x86-only” plug-ins and other plug-ins not working correctly on my
machine were discarded.”
“XMMS stands for X11 MultiMedia System. It began its life as
x11amp, a clone of Winamp from Nullsoft Software, and a closed
source program. Due to the license the amp mp3 engine was under,
and the copyright on the name, XMMS was a rewrite of x11amp using
the GTK+ toolkit and the mpg123 MP3 engine. XMMS supports Winamp
skins nativelly, as well as a range of plug-ins for all the
different functions present in the program.”
