This is the Xmms project page, it is a multimedia player based on the look of winamp. Currently it plays mpeg layer 1/2/3 wav/au and all formats supported by libmikmod, also it plays CD audio and more.

It works on most unix systems with sound, preferable OSS but on i386 systems any sounddrivers that is OSS compatible should work without any problems.

Current version online is 0.9.1, you can download it from the download page.



This player has most of the features as the original winamp from Windows 95/98/NT but it will of course feature some specials only available for the linux version.

Some features that are already included are:

  • Seeking in files
  • Volume/Balance
  • Shuffle play
  • Repeat play
  • Playlist editor
  • Spectrum Analyzer
  • One Line mode al'a WinShade in WinAmp
  • Oscilliscope
  • Timer Elapsed/Timer Remaining
  • Plug-in system Output/Input/Effect/General
  • Equalizer
  • Double Size option
  • Winamp 2.0 skinsupport
  • GTK Requesters (with themesupport)
  • Streaming/Shoutcast(1.0/1.1)/Icecast support
  • Autoremove borders if the WM has support for it
  • Gnome/Afterstep/WindowMaker dock app
  • Fast jump in playlist
  • Scroll wheel support
  • Save to wav option
  • Saves http streams to HD
  • Plays mpeg layer 1/2/3 also wav and formats supported by mikmod
