  1. Re:Audio player XMMS by fault0 · · Score: 0, Troll

    The real good thing about xmms is that it's winamp like. Except for the Macintosh platform, people have always liked winamp-like players the most.

    On MacOS, audion used to the most widely used player. This is of course Apple introduced their own player, itunes. If Apple had introduced a jukebox player like itunes and a winamp player, the winamp player would have probably been more popular. It was always like that, as before audion, macamp was the most popular, which was a direct winamp clone like xmms is.

    I suppose that for mac users, loyalty to using Apple products is most import; Safari was almost instantly widely adopted by Mac users, even for people who were using things like Chimera/Camino.
