Is there any way to run XMMS in X11 without having a Xterm window open? To launch it you have to have one open, and if you close it, it kills XMMS. I would like to be able to run it without another window. Also, is there any way to play AAC audio in XMMS?

If you launch XMMS with
you can safely close the xterm. The & at the end specifies that the command you execute should run as a background process. And why not put XMMS in the Applications menu?
When it comes to AAC-support - have a look at http://aacplugin.sourceforge.net.

Thanks, I never knew about the & command.
Can someone give some instructions for installing the aac plugin? I am somewhat of a UNIX newbie. Thanks!

Alright, I looked into this and tried compiling various aac-plugins for XMMS, but.. eh, it's not as easy as it could be, to say the least. I believe I'll wait for the Fink people or anyone else to port an acc-plugin for XMMS.

Well, alright, for sure it's not impossible. I just don't feel like tweaking header-files, Makefiles and configuration-files for hours. I'm not that desperate to get AAC working with XMMS. If you want to give it a try though, check out AudioCoding.com. They host a AAC-decoder that comes with various plugins of which one is for XMMS. I had plenty trouble compiling all the necessary libraries though. Post back if you have more patience than me!
