Creative Commons cafe - looking for music player software

[Olafur Arason]

Xmms seems to the best option, it has xmms-goom and xmms-osd-plugin.
Goom does visualisation and the osd plugin shows information on the screen.
Rhythmbox has a plugin for osd it's called gnome-osd, but I'm not able to find
a visualistion. Totem has goom but no osd. There is osd-xine also but there
is no package for ubuntu, so you have to build it your self.
