Yea i found that but how do I install it on my Mandrake 9.2 Download Edition? It looks likes it's only for Red Hat and Fedora.

yo man, u must be referring to the xmms website. its kind of misleading. but anyway, wasnt xmms installed by default? perhaps u did not select "multimedia" when u installed mandrake.

open up "mandrake control center" and do a search for xmms, u shld find it.

otherwise, u might wana download the source, xmms 1.2-10.tar.gz.

Or look at rpm.pbone.net or rpmdind.net for a mandrake rpm.

Download the winamp skin and copy it to /usr/share/xmms/Skins to make it look just like winamp.
