Gentoo Linux

Lately ebuilds for XMMS2, xmms2-scrobbler and LXMmusic were added to portage. To install:

emerge xmms2 emerge xmms2-scrobbler emerge lxmusic

As XMMS2 has a lot of USE-flags, you would want first to check them (and dependencies according to them), so you can set them before installation:

equery u xmms2 equery g xmms2

For more clients you would need to check custom overlays, but instead of adding them i would suggest just using ebuild for specific client you want.
