Cons
Con Strong focus on online
Streams are nice. But what about what I want and have? Strong focus on online listening. And if that is what you want exclusively, this is bloat. Better go with something really focused, functional and SMALL.
Con Looks are dated and may be unappealing
XMMS is pretty long in the tooth now and it's design definitely reflects that.
