XMMS is a Winamp-lookalike. Before installing XMMS, I would recommend a peek at ["BeepMediaPlayer"] wich is a fork of XMMS using GTK2 - meaning it looks like Ubuntu usually does. Open File-dialogs in XMMS isn't the most beutifull thing availible....

These instructions are from [http://www.ubuntuguide.org the Unofficial Ubuntu 5.04 Starter Guide]. Go there and donate ;)

This should work with breezy and hoary. It probably needs the universe repos: ["AddingRepositoriesHowto"].

The Guide recommends:
{{{

sudo apt-get install lame
sudo apt-get install sox
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
sudo apt-get install mjpegtools
sudo apt-get install vorbis-tools
gst-register-0.8
}}}
However, Lame libdivx4linux, w32codecs, gstreamer0.8-lame and mjpegtools were provided by mirrormax and I don't think they are availible in the common repos. Have a look at ["RestrictedFormats"]. These should be in multiverse/universe though:

You can install the following packages:

About

XMMS is a Winamp-lookalike. Before installing XMMS, it is recommended that you look at ["BeepMediaPlayer"] which is a fork of XMMS using GTK2 - meaning that graphically it integrates with the Ubuntu desktop better than XMMS.

This should work with breezy and hoary. You should add the universe and multiverse repos: ["AddingRepositoriesHowto"].

Getting Multimedia Codecs

You can install the following packages:

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-plugins lame gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg sox ffmpeg vorbis-tools

Installing

sudo apt-get install xmms

Getting WMA-support

wget -c http://frankandjacq.com/ubuntuguide/xmms-wma_1.0.4-2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i xmms-wma_1.0.4-2_i386.deb

A mirror can be found here http://easylinux.info/uploads/xmms-wma_1.0.4-2_i386.deb

Associate with media files

sudo cp /usr/share/applications/defaults.list /usr/share/applications/defaults.list_backup
sudo cp /usr/share/applications/defaults.list /tmp/defaults.list_tmp

sudo sed -e 's/audio\/mpeg=.*/audio\/mpeg=XMMS.desktop/g' /tmp/defaults.list_tmp > /tmp/defaults.mp3

sudo sed -e 's/audio\/x-mpegurl=.*/audio\/x-mpegurl=XMMS.desktop/g' /tmp/defaults.mp3 > /tmp/defaults.m3u

sudo sed -e 's/audio\/x-wav=.*/audio\/x-wav=XMMS.desktop/g' /tmp/defaults.m3u > /tmp/defaults.list

sudo mv /tmp/defaults.list /usr/share/applications/defaults.list

sudo rm -f /tmp/defaults.*

Thats it. Have a look at Program -> Sound and Video -> XMMS
