I would like to know why CentOS doesn't have xmms.

Because RHEL doesn't.

Because it uses the GTK 1.x for it's toolkit and it's not really maintained anymore. There is some work on XMMS2, but AFAIK it's not even close to being done. BMP (Beep Media Player) is also an offshoot of XMMS that was being updated to GTK2.

Fedora does not have it anymore in core ... it got shoved off to extras. Other distros have dropped it also as it's gotten so out of date with requirements for old libs.

I XMMS was a favorite of mine as I was an old WINAMP user, but I finally gave up and use Totem or Rhythmbox instead.

I have installed XMMS to centos 5 and it's working fine... For nostalgy or some other reasons... Totem and Rythm... Per- sonally don't like... Amarok yes, but as long XMMS works, using that...

You might want to try audacious. It looks and feels a lot like XMMS or WinAmp, very different from Totem, Rhythmbox or Amarok. It uses modern libs and is actively maintained. It is the perfect XMMS drop-in replacement. It's in Fedora, and I think RPMs for CentOS/RHEL are in DAG.

thanks for the advise but no, I use centos since ever, since I star using linux, I had tried ubuntu and i don really like it.

and I have xmms from rpmforge repos I just want to know why it is not in CentOS 5 thanks anyway for all

Although I'm big fan of (K)Ubuntu, I think it's kinda rude/freaky to suggest migration on CentOS list ;)
