No, sorry, can't legally do that.

Beep's sole feature point is a hack port to GTK2, afaik. It wasn't
a particularly clean or stable port when I looked at it. 

As for why I use xmms:

1) force of habit
2) smaller (both visually and memory wise)
3) doesn't skip (and this is on a 1.6Ghz box)
4) loads playlists MUCH faster
