The problem with audacious and all the other xmms replacements is that they have many more features at the expense of bloat. Try running audacious or vlc or whatever on an old system with lower specs and see how you like it. Then try xmms. |

On an old Cyrix 166MHz system running Puppy Linux 3, I found Xfmedia to be the fastest: http://spuriousinterrupt.org/projects/xfmedia |

In my experience, the most lightweight, currently maintained audio player which has last.fm (audioscrobbler) support is audacious. If I leave all the effects plugins turned off it seems fairly inconspicuous in the overall scheme of system resources. |

Xfmedia is very fast. Limited, but fast. ...and if I don't need Last.fm support on an older machine???? |

Quoting: ...and if I don't need Last.fm support on an older machine????I think we both know the answer to that question... |

Recently I discovered CMUS (ncurses based for the console). Used Amarok before, but that's so slow, I thought I might go back to the basic. CMUS is quite good. That is, if you know all the keys belonging to the commands. |
