</div>Nowadays I'd rather point such people at Audacious (package "audacious"<br>
for Fedora and corresponding add-on packages at <a href="http://rpmfusion.org" target="_blank">rpmfusion.org</a>).<br>

<br>If one uses the same skin, it is difficult to distinguish (visually) audacious from xmms,<br>and audacious eats a lot more of CPU cycles.<br><br>Using top, in a quadcore Q6600 (4GB ram), xmms eats in the average 8% (peek of 12%) of CPU and audacious 14% (peek of 21%), both with the pulse plugin.<br>
