I would be worried about security for online use. Also, as I recall, whenever I tried to install new packages, I would be forced to uninstall xmms, then if I wanted to keep using it, to reinstall with dpkg. This seemed rather pointless, to go through that endless loop of installation > uninstallation > reinstallation of the same packages, just to be able to use a legacy media player. Besides, audacious, once I got used to it, and customized to my own tastes, has worked very well. However, if there happens to be anybody out there who wishes to try out the old xmms again (just because), here are some links: http://www.pvv.ntnu.no/~knuta/xmms/ https://web.archive.org/web/20210429053638/http://www.pvv.ntnu.no/~knuta/xmms/ https://visihow.com/Install_XMMS_on_Ubuntu_10.04 https://web.archive.org/web/20210411123226/https://visihow.com/Install_XMMS_on_Ubuntu_10.04 http://www.xmms.org/download.php https://web.archive.org/web/20211124050240/http://www.xmms.org/download.php Archived pages included, just in case of dead links. Also, of course, xmms could be install from source packages, in which case, it wouldn't get uninstalled by apt or aptitude.
