Sorry, but this is one of the most uneducated things I've read in quite some time, and without exaggeration, it makes me a little mad, really. xmms is a gtk-application, and is not just a (still somewhat common) disease, it's something nearly as bad as cancer. It lacks unicode support (hint: Ubuntu's default locale is $LANG.UTF-8), and is the ONLY reason - if installed - to keep a whole gui-toolkit, dog-old gtk, on your disk (and loaded in memory, too, once xmms is running). Xmms keeps living on much too long by now, since there's already the SECOND fork of its codebase, ported to the much better and more widely used gtk+, readily available (beep-media-player, which itself is abandoned already!, and audacious, which keeps on living somehow). There's Amarok, and there's kaffeine. We don't need another application in Kubuntu to play back MP3, and even if we did, it would just not be xmms, period. For the love of got, let it die in peace. Rant end.

It was just a suggestion, anyway it's your opinion and I respect that.

Nice to see this did not go unnoticed I'm sorry if I sounded somewhat rude before, but I've been having a hard day trying to get rid of unnecessary dependencies on my Kubuntu system, and was somewhat stressed out. I didn't mean to sound inflammatory.
