XMMS2 is a different program to XMMS.
It's more like MPD than it is like XMMS.
XMMS = X MultiMedia System
XMMS2 = X Music Multiplexing System
This error happens when there is already an instance of xmms2d running, and you try to start another. Make sure there isn't already one running before trying again.
