But I uninstalled Audacious today after using it for a while, because: * When playing URLs it takes much longer to start playing than xmms. * I cannot drag files or directories from the xfce filemanager (thunar) nor from either of the two audacious file selection dialogs into the audacious playlist. Dragging from thunar into xmms just works. * Audacious has no "add directory" dialog either, it only let's me add all files in the current directory (in either file selection dialog). * With the new Audacious default theme (black) filenames in the file selector (the xmms-style one) are printed black on black (yay!). * Audacious uses way more CPU than xmms does. The only issue I have with xmms is that it uses GTK1 which looks ugly. So what. At least it works :) I'll look into BMPx though, thanks for mentioning it. --=20 stefan http://stsp.name PGP Key: 0xF59D25F0 --tEFtbjk+mNEviIIX Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkfUN3YACgkQ5dMCc/WdJfB1dQCffE71KGqaRDxNhXdjHxkukJbX N1oAoMFktQzL2Xi7ssSG+JB5+ZjkzlEC =p8Xj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --tEFtbjk+mNEviIIX--
