xmms is very old and most distributions have stopped carrying it. There's an xmms2 now, but it's been redesigned as a server-daemon+client-player system.
The most faithful recreation of xmms now is audacious. It has the same basic interface design and can use the same winamp2-style skins as xmms.
There are a whole lot of other media players out there though. So don't go limiting yourself off the bat. Try out a few and see.
