I'm using old software or xmms is old

xmms about window showing last copyright - 2004

Today a friend of mine told me that XMMS package was missing from Slackware 12. At first, I thought it was a codec (mp3?) issue, but upon looking this thing up, I found out that the last release was in 2004 (!). I can't believe it :)

I got so used to the release early, release often model and also, considering that just a few days ago I upgraded to the new Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (version 7.10, that is) I could have bet I don't have any software older than 6 months.

Oh well, seems I have to look for a replacement for XMMS soon.

Update:

I have switched to Audacious, because it looks similar to XMMS and also takes less screen space than other players, such as Rhythmbox.
