And it's not a skinned app, which I'm not fond of.

Xfmedia's goal has always been to be a nice simple media player in the
WinAmp style, without being skinned. And with the move from the old
Xfmusic to Xfmedia, it also wants to leverage preexisting media
libraries (like Xine) to get as complete a multimedia experience as
possible.

Once Xfmedia's plugin interface stabilizes I'll be very happy with it
