    Another fine example of Linux users begging and scraping for the chance to run some junk that is native to the windows world. I hate this mindset, it makes me sick. I run Linux, Free and OpenBSD, I let go of windows for a reason. Why must I continually be bombarded with lame news on the from page of /. describing yet another lame attempt to emulate windows by "linux users" who just can't let go of their past. Go back to windows, do us all a favor.

    Just as winter rain,
    Emulation sucks.
    Please install Windows.

    have you really used xmms? Sure all the people who came from windows will use WinAmp. But, XMMS is a finished product, it's been developed for years. I SERIOUSLY doubt that winamp for linux is going to be that great. Besides, it's very unlikely that winamp will be GPL'd and you know that matters to a fair number of linux users.

  4. What a waste! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    This is just another fucking waste of resources. Imagine what all the resources going into making stupid shit like this work could do if put toward more productive projects. More coders, testers, etc. for making GNOME or KDE better, making Open Office better. All you morons wasting your efforts in crap liek this - do not donate your sperm or reproduce in other ways.

  5. Actually, this has been around for a while by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    There has been a little-known XMMS plugin that does this for about 2 years now. The only problem is that its Japanese. You can get it here.
