Too bad...

[compupc1]

It's too bad that now with Winamp 3 being released really really soon, all those old Winamp 2 plugins will be outdated (I do belive it will be backwards compatible, though....correct me if I'm wrong), and people will stop making them. Winamp 3's entire architecture changed, and on top of that there will be a Linux version of it. So, really no need for XMMS. It was a fine player, but I believe it's life will be coming to an end.

Still...this is an interesting project.

There's no point in winamp for linux, xmms is as good if not better.

Yea !!!

You know, of all the things Windows can do that Linux can't, Winamp is all too often left out.

Sure XMMS may be sleeker, playlist may scroll better, may be optomized for your machine, may have more configuration options, may have source available for modification, may not take over your entire system when you install it, may have better plugins, run much faster and better than Winamp...

But, it still can't... Umm... Remind me, what was my point again?

This reminds me of all the rest of the Linux world domination crap. "Linux hasn't take over the desktop because it doesn't have Microsoft Office!". Right! I hate how OpenOffice works with so many databases, doesn't put me in the poor house, never crashes, starts up in a fraction of the time, and runs on any platform anyone feel like porting it too...

Oh horror of horrors, how can we live without Winamp Visualization plugins, or Microsoft Office? It's like we are living in a world without fax machines... It's too horrible of a world to describe!
