From XMMS2
X-platform Music Multiplexing System 2
| XMMS2 0.7 DrNo was just released.
Read the release notes for DrNo. Visit our Summer of Code 2010 page. |
XMMS2 will:
- play your music.
- manage your music library
- use collections to help you organise your music as you like
- allow you to control it using a variety of clients.
- run on Linux, *BSD, OS X, Solaris, and Windows.
Features
- Client-server model
- Allows XMMS2 to have various multiple interfaces (as clients).
- Command line interfaces
- GTK clients (matching GNOME & Xfce4 look and feel)
- KDE clients (matching KDE look and feel)
- Network transparency means you can run and control XMMS2 remotely, (e.g. run XMMS2 on your 'media box' and control it over network using a bluetooth-enabled PDA (TCP) - see Mobile platforms)
Play mp3, mp4, vorbis, aac, alac, wma, mac, sid, mod, wav, flac, mpc, speex, wavpack, flv, nsf, spc, nsfe, gbs, gym, vgm, sap, ay, tta and shn files.
- Transports
Play from local files, over http, samba, daap and mms.
- Playlists
Add tracks from rss, xml, asx, xspf, html, m3u, pls, and cue files.
- Flexible transform chain concept
Allows for more flexible access to media. (e.g. play mp3 files from a Samba share without having to mount it on the local filesystem)
Database-driven media library stores metadata about songs as they're played, so songs can be quickly recalled and new playlists easily made. The media library can be easily queried and managed using Collections.
- Other
Gapless playback, coverart extraction.
Get Started!
Getting started with XMMS2 is as easy as: download, install, use!

- Don't trust XMMS.ORG for XMMS1 source code
17 May 2010 12:24 (CEST) by Unknown
Just a brief warning to anyone looking for the XMMS1 source code. Please don't use the code at http://xmms.org since the domain is no longer controlled by the people in the community. Please use http://legacy.xmms2.org instead. For background information you can see the following post by Tobias: http://thieta.wordpress.com/2010/04/28/what-ever-happened-to-xmms-org/ - Four students accepted for Google's Summer of Code 2010
26 April 2010 23:00 (CEST) by Unknown
Today Google announced the students accepted for this year's Summer of Code. We received four slots this year, and selected some really great sounding projects this year.- Sivert Berg (cippo) - Mergeable S4 with Coll 2.0 mentored by Sebastien Cevey
- Konrad Scorciapino (konr) - GIMME - GIMME Interesting Music, Mr. Emacs! mentored by Alexander Botero-Lowry
- Bruno Ronzani (Bruno') - Crossfade plugin & co mentored by Anders Waldenborg
- Cherif Yaya (allad) - XMMS2 mobile web client for iPhone and Android devices mentored by Daniel Svensson
In the past we have not had a heavy focus on client development during the Summer of Code, but this year we were happy to see a number of proposals that allowed us to split the selection fifty-fifty between client development and infrastructure work. We are also very happy to have Sivert Berg back to continue his work on s4. We've already seen excellent performance results from initial looks at integrating s4, so we expect with a bit of polish and close work with Sebastien and Erik to assure good integration with Collections 2.0, that XMMS2 will have a great new database backend ready to go for users! - Gearing up for Summer of Code 2010

We want to participate in the Summer of Code program 2010! There is a lot of things to do, write the application, propose projects, become a mentor! Please join us at the XMMS2 Summer of Code 2010 portal and contribute! - XMMS2 team is trying out Gitorious
20 February 2010 23:36 (CET) by Unknown
During the XMMS2Con (which is awesome by the way) we discussed how to improve the workflow, one thing we talked about was to improve the merge tools we have. We ended up trying gitorious instead. You can check out the XMMS2 team page on gitorious here and if you are a developer, please register and notify Tobias or Anders and they can add you to the group. Also leave feedback on how gitorious is working out for you. - XMMS2 0.7 DrNo release and XMMS2Con
20 February 2010 10:34 (CET) by Unknown
Yesterday we released DrNo, download at sourceforge. This is the first release in almost a year. We hope that we will get to it. Also today is the first day of XMMS2Con, it's hold at Purple Scout offices in Malmö, Sweden. About 10 of us will hopefully bring some new XMMS2 awesomeness during the weekend. If you are close to Malmö just pop by Purple Scout :)
