Xmms

The X Multimedia System (XMMS) is a free audio player very similar to Winamp, that runs on many Unix-like operating systems. It supports skins that were made for Winamp. It was first released under the name X11Amp, with a license that did not provide any access to the program's source code. Nowadays, it is released under the GNU General Public License. XMMS currently supports the following audio and video file formats: It supports Icecast and SHOUTcast streaming, and is compatible with Winamp 2 skins.
