Francis,
Open your terminal/xterm/console and type as follows:

$sudo apt-get update

allow it to complete and then,

$sudo apt-get instal xmms

$ --> is the shell prompt, dont type it.

This is in assumption that you have a decent internet connection :)

For more,

$sudo apt-cache search xmmms

This will give you a list of softwares related to xmms available in the 
repos :)

have fun  apt-get'ing !

Syntax: apt-get install <package_name>
	apt-cache search <package_name_approx>

** sudo gives you super user permissions to download and install the 
software.
