There is also bmpx and xmms2. Only audacious and bmpx are in portage. I think they are all similar to xmms! For me I have choosen audacious! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Thanks, from the links provided it seems that soon(?) xmms will be abandoned, with xmms2 not yet ready for mass consumption. -- Regards, Mick pgpM40Y97hvBq.pgp Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] Changes in USE flags - perhaps related to 2006.1?
I moved onto 2006.1 profile, updated gcc, remerged system and now as I am getting ready to remerge world, suddenly I noticed: -kde, -qt, -opengl, -xmms, -png, -gif. Most of these were in my make.conf (well, at least kde qt were there). Now there's a number of packages that will be compiled without them. What's changed and why? -- Regards, Mick pgpFwYEgGnNRz.pgp Description: PGP signature
