If you're interested, here is a great paper on how to become better.

Regarding xmms, I've had heaps of trouble with it for the past couple of years
on various versions of FreeBSD and a variety of Linux distributions. It just

ports/audio and ports/multimedia, many with better features and interfaces
than xmms.
