Winamp Alpha for Linux

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the what-exactly-is-the-point dept.

Hopefully it doesn't overshadow all of the hard work the XMMS people have done." Does winamp have better playlist controls then xmms? I've taken to using freeamp just because it has decent playlist controls. I say decent, not good. I want something with a tivo type of intelligence, but everything that claims to do something like this, well, doesn't.

    I have to agree with the poster on play lists. I'm trying to set up a laptop in my living room to play mp3's and while xmms is a great player, it's ui to load songs and file simply sucks. What I need is something that my wife can deal with.
