Your PI will now go off searching the entire SD card in search of your file. Swap out ‘filename’ for the name of what your looking for, press enter and wait. Here’s a handy tip if your trying to find a file or folder in on your Raspberry PI When I navigated to the xmms2 folder, I discovered the ‘clients’ folder wasn’t there. “/home/pi/.config/xmms2/clients/promoe/skins”Īt least it would, if the location existed, which is didn’t on my system. According to everything I read online, Promoe stores its skins in the following location. See pic Right now here is the part where I hit trouble.

You should now have a file called “ 135799-winamp_z“, make a new folder and call it ‘Winamp’, extract the archive inside it.

Eitherway we need a classic Winamp skin to proceed, so go online and download the classic skin here. Luckily the skins for Audacious seem to work on XMMS2 or perhaps thats the other way around, XMMS skins work with Audacious. Audacious Classic Winamp skin, kicks the Llama’s ass ! When your done, close the program and we’ll move on to the next step. Run Promoe at least once, simply to test it works and also to allow XMMS2 to initialize itself. XMMS2 Promoe Once you have those two files installed, you will find Promoe is now listed in the Sound & Video section of your start menu. When you have it installed, open it up and find these files. Which you can download via this terminal command. I did this via the synaptic package manager.

The first thing you need to do, is install XMMS2 and Promoe client. Rolling up my sleeves, I gave it a go and while it wasn’t totally straight forward on the Raspberry PI, the results were still pretty successful, so read on.

After doing a little more digging I learned about XMMS2 and the interesting things people had been doing to make it look like Winamp. After doing a search online, I found plenty of people in the same boat, they liked Linux, but they missed Winamp. Fast forward to present day, last Monday to be precise and I’d got my newly built Amiga 600PI running pretty well, the only thing missing was a kickass mp3 player. So imagine my disappointment when I started using Linux 4 years ago and didn’t really find anything remotely like it. Its been on every one of my Windows machines for the past 12-13 years.
