Snookerdoodle: /* Playback */

The '''X Multimedia System''' ('''XMMS''') is a [[free software|free]] [[media player|multimedia player]], very similar to [[Winamp]], that runs on many [[Unix-like]] [[operating system]]s (including [[Linux]]). 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]].

=== Features ===

* Winamp 2 skin support

=== Supported formats ===

==== Playback ====

* [[MP3]], [[WAV]], [[AU]], [[Ogg Vorbis]], [[MP2]], [[FLAC]], Mod, XM, X3M, MED, IT, STM
* Audio CD

=== Supported languages ===

* English
=== Supported platforms ===

* Linux/BSD
* Mac OS X
* Solaris
