- Maintainer: Georg Schild
- Description: A java client for mpd and xmms2 using XWidgets as ui. X4X uses a slightly changed version of the JMPDComm. X4X can integrate itself into kde (qt), gtk (swt), native (qt and swt) and not native (swing) environments using XWidgets. Come and visit us in #x4x;
Development of X4X is stopped, use other nice clients instead
[edit] What are the benefits of X4X
- Fast and nice gui, all basic functionality in one window (screenies)
- Treebrowser for medialib
- Playlistmanagement
- Keybindings for almost everything
- Connection-browser (incl. optional mdns support)
- Systemtray
- -noX start option - doesn't open the mainwindow if a systemtray is present
- Due to XWidgets X4X has the ability to integrate into every environment (See screenshots)
- Support plugins (UI, Output)
- Runs on windows (and everywhere else where java6 is available)
- Also works with xmms2
