Not if you want to play ogg or other good formats, use global hot keys, use jump to file, have a nice, customizable interface, or like having an SDK so you can do pretty much anything you currently can't.

Sure it's > * if you like to be limited to natively playing a few formats and if you like to be told you should transcode your wma without mentioning that it all that will accomplish is degrading your quality just so Apple can get market share.

I've been looking for something similar for over a year now, with no real luck. The closest thing I was able to find to winamp was a small app called MintAudio, but its been discontinued for a while now. It does however support mp3's, ogg's, and even modules.

I wish someone would port XMMS to OSX, but until then, i'll just have to settle for iTunes.

According to xmms.org, it works.

I'm talking about a full fledged port of XMMS, not requiring X11.

X11 is so inifinitely useful I never imagined people would not want it. :Q
