replacing xmms with audacious

xmms will be removed from ubuntu/debian in the future

so i have installed the audacious
$sudo apt-get install audacious audacious-plugins


i have made audacious to look exactly like the xmms with Refugee skin so it can replace xmms easily on any desktop

and it has the voice removal plugin (needed for playing covers)

the cpu used is somewhere at 5% for audicious but is ok i guess

ps: the only thing i need now is an gnome applet for playing music

bonus packages :

$sudo apt-get install audacious-plugins-extra audtty pidgin-musictracker

pidgin-musictracker - status tracking for what you play in xmms

apt-cache show
