Software Overview
XMMS is an open-source multimedia player for Linux. The player was modeled after Nullsoft's Winamp.
The multimedia player is primarily used for audio playback and supports several audio formats, including MP3, MOD, and WAV. The player's most prominent feature is its ability to be customized. You can install plugins to support more audio and video formats and enhance the audio output. The player's interface can also be changed, as many skins are available for download on the XMMS website.
The most common users of XMMS are people looking to customize their audio player, whether through installing plugins or interface skins. However, the player doesn't include many capabilities, and its appearance is dated. If you are a Linux user looking for a customizable multimedia player, XMMS is a solid choice.
