[ydl-gen] xmms v. other linux players

[Derick Centeno]

Hi CronoCloud:

If you download and rebuild xmms from it's website you acquire more than the one default skin.  Indeed once it's compiled you can choose to have the skins vary randomly as each song is played.  I shut that feature off as the skins are not the primary feature which interest me.
