This is a small utility to control xmms from the command line or a shell. The interest comes with key bindings in a window manager. I give my key bindings for twm to show how to program some keys. I'm using a small script window_shown to test the state of windows. xmmsctrl without argument will print a summary of commands. They are pretty straight forward. The file twmrc_bindings contains examples on how to use test commands. The samples directory contains sample scripts to illustrate how to use xmmsctrl.
