Touché. ;)
I could have worded that a bit better. Apologies if that came out too
harshly.

It's not the age that bugs me, it's, well, the bugs. I used xmms for
a long time, but as I digitized more of my music, I ran into its poor
utf8 support more and more, and I wouldn't say that I have a very
international collection of music. And then the lack of antialiasing
in gtk1 made xmms stand out as the rest of my desktop grew a bit more
attractive.
