XMMS is missing

[bobpur]

One of the first things I download after a full install is Streamripper & Streamtuner so I can have some tunes while I do the rest of the "polishing" on the new distro. (All Ubuntu derivatives, of course).
It seems like XMMS has fallen by the wayside in v8.04 which makes Streamripper/tuner useless as they depend on XMMS to make the sounds.
XMMS2 will not work as a replacement (at least at my level of expertise it won't).
Anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thanks

I read somewhere that Audacious is what's used now, but take that as a stab in the dark.

Streamripper/tuner wants to default to XMMS and I don't know to change that.
I believe, I read somewhere that the person that maintains Streamripper/tuner is hanging it up and not working on it anymore.
Maybe this is the beginning of a long slide into the trashcan full of old programs that've outlived their usefullness.
I might try getting it off an older version of a Ubuntu cd and installing it. I noticed it disappearred when I upgraded from v7.10 to v8.04 so maybe that won't work.

Thanks for the reply!

Sorry. I had to leave for a while.
disturbedite, I think I found the answer to my problem in the link you posted. When I get back on my Ubuntu box I'll check it out.

Thanks everyone

no problem.

i do recommend using audacious for every possible reason though.
