Aye,

Anybody working in a pre-compiled version for Mac OS X or something, with GUI and all? All this fink malarkey has managed to piss me off

Kyz may feel otherwise, but I think one should have xmms working under os x, and then use uade xmms plugin.

I'm working on a nice Amiga music player for MacOS X. I want it to support the extra data UnExoticA has, like the authorship and box scans, and it'll use UADE as the underlying sound player (except for the MP3s which will use Quicktime).

I might just ask Buzz to put up a new script that generates an XML dump of the entire database, once I have this all worked out.

Personally, I think asking Mac OS X users to run XMMS under X11 emulation is as offensive as asking Linux users to run WinAmp under emulation rather than run the native XMMS. Is there any special reason why XMMS is so essential? Many people use it in Linux (that's now dropping as more people use the iTunes clone RhythmBox), but zero Mac users use it. Why launch the X11 graphics emulator and run a laggy sound daemon and a foreign graphical interface when iTunes is one click away and has a native interface in the style of all other Mac apps...

XMMS is not X11 dependent. It is gtk dependent. GTK should be ported on top of native mac interfaces. Anyway, we are moving to use gtk2 atm. BMP is a fork of XMMS for gtk2.

There is no special reason to use XMMS, if all the zillion formats can be played with some other player, or the player plugins are ported to other systems. Just trying to think economically. Porting is cheaper than rewriting.
