"Control xmms from the command line with xmmsctrl, a compact utility software." (14 words)
One of the main advantages of using xmmsctrl is that you can bind keys in a window manager to have control over xmms with keys that do play/next/pause, prev, control sound, and more. To get started with this feature, all you need to do is create a directory named .FancyLauncher in your home directory, and then copy the plugins directory by running the command "cp -r /usr/local/FancyLauncher/plugins ~/.FancyLauncher/"
In terms of requirements, you'll need XMMS to use xmmsctrl. Luckily, installation is a breeze. Just run "make" to compile and "make install" to install.
The latest release of xmmsctrl comes with a range of new features and updates, including the addition of a sample keylaunchrc file, the removal of the __attribute__ from the source (as it's not supported by all compilers), and the replacement of get_current_dir_name() with getcwd and stack allocation (as the former function is unavailable on BSD). Overall, this is a fantastic piece of software for anyone looking to control xmms from the command line.
