Installation:
- Copy the vim resource file below, and run it in vim, eg:
vim -u /home/user/music_vimrc
- May need to install Roxterm to get the shoulder buttons working
- Install xmms and xmmsctrl from the repository

Benefits:
- Cool looking, customizable, remappable, readable
- Easy to navigate with or without keyborad, touchscreen, vision
- Access to vim search sorting functions
- Easy to write custom playlists

Download: (Cannot copy-paste because of special characters)

Instructions:
You would want to manually add songs to xmms's playlist to start off, for some reason it crashes on an empty playlist.
Use the two shoulder buttons or the touchscreen to navigate.
The fullscreen button switches modes: from vol +/- to next prev tracj
Press ESC twice to play/pause
Press Enter twice to play
Capital J/K for volume up down
Capital W/Q to close the gui but keep the song playing or to close everything
Captal S to shuffle tracks
Capital C to convert the current display to a playlist, and then use :w someplaylist.m3u to write the playlist
Capital R to reload playlist (such as when you have rearranged the tracks)

Various useful functions:
type :call TitleSort() to sort by title
type :sort n to sort by track
type :call LoadPlaylist("myplaylist.m3u") to load a playlist
type u to undo last command
