So, I just did a fresh install of FC7, and found that xmms was not
installed by default. Not a huge worry, yum installed it without
problems, but I still need to hand install the mp3 player plugin b/c
redhat people are winies - but I'm used to all this.
However, going to www.xmms.org, I find all of these notes to the effect of
many distributions are deprecating xmms:

XMMS has been removed from the Slackware distribution.

xap/xmms-1.2.10-i486-3.tgz: XMMS developers: THANK YOU for your years of
dedication. We look forward to considering a new GTK+2 based design some
time in the future. (Package removed).

WTF? xmms is the bomb.. but apparently doesn't support gtk+2? And
there are no binaries built for anything later then FC1!?
I've been using xmms since before mp3s came out (true story)... So, the
question is what are all the young wippersnappers using these days?
What is the xmms replacement of choice?
Thanks in advance,
- Rob

PS Not that I can't/won't bludgeon xmms into working, but I'm just curious..
