Overview

FreeMusicPlayer is a music player for Windows 2000/XP only.

With FreeMusicPlayer you can play Ogg Vorbis, MP3 , and WAV sound files and you are able to create mixed format playlists for juke box style listening to these types of files.
FreeMusicPlayer has been created with sound quality as the prime objective, and is Free of features that hack your registery or store and transmit information about your listening habits to servers on the web. FreeMusicPlayer also is Free of spinning numbers and sliding sliders and all the other stream interupting stuff that makes most media players look cool but sound like the music is under water. The improved sound quality is very appearent for Ogg Vorbis files. For this reason of improved sound quality I have not included support for older telephone type encodings. FreeMusicPlayer uses very little of your screen realestate. FreeMusicPlayer runs in the Sun Java Virtual Machine and I have used native code only for superiour Vorbis sound quality and the ability to have the UI stay on top of other windows if you want. Because of the native code FreeMusicPlayer is for Windows only and is not cross platform like most Java applications. I have tried to make FreeMusicPlayer thread freindly so you can listen to music and do other work at the same time unimpaired. Is it skinnable you ask?? Of course not, music is something you listen to with your ears not something you look at with your eyes so FreeMusicPlayer is skin Free, but you can switch between a couple of cool colors. And, of course, no, you can't associate your sound files with FreeMusicPlayer. That upsets BigBrother's Win Media Slayer and, in my case, causes my computer to crash. Hopefully crashing is another thing FreMusiclayer is Free of. FreeMusicPlayer also uses it's own PlayList Format so as not to invoke further imbedded spyware troubles. So listen to your hearts content with the knowledge that "The Man" no longer can observe your natural fascination with sound and interupt your need for privacy and the freedom to use your computer however you want.
