History XMMS was originally written as X11Amp by Peter and Mikael Alm in November 1997, citing a 'lack of good mp3 players for linux'. [1] The player was made to resemble Winamp, which was first released in May that year. As such, XMMS has supported Winamp skins since its release. Though the original release was made under a license that did not provide any access to the program's source code, it is now released under the GNU General Public License.

Forks XMMS has continued to use an antiquated version of the GTK+ toolkit years after a major revision was available. The primary reason for this reluctance to upgrade was the fact that many XMMS plugins (written by third parties) were dependent on the older version of GTK+ to function properly (about boxes and configuration dialogs). Many software developers also consider the XMMS codebase to be poorly designed and difficult to maintain. These factors led to various forks and related projects: Initially created for the raster graphics editor, the GNU Image Manipulation Program, the GIMP Toolkit—abbreviated, and almost exclusively known, as GTK+—is one of the two most popular widget toolkits for the X Window System for creating graphical user interfaces. ...
