Qmmp version 2.2.8 and 1.7.7 have been released, enhancing its capabilities as an Open Source multimedia player developed using the Qt framework. This player is designed for both Windows and Linux platforms, boasting an interface reminiscent of popular applications like Winamp and Xmms. For users who prefer portability, a version compatible with PortableApps is also available.
Winamp, once a dominant player in the multimedia space, was discontinued in December 2013. Given the security vulnerabilities associated with outdated software, Qmmp serves as an excellent alternative for those seeking a modern multimedia experience. The player supports a wide array of audio formats, including XMMS, Winamp skins, MP3, Vorbis, AAC, and AAC+ streams, along with experimental MMS streaming. It also features MPRIS support (versions 1.0 and 2.0), embedded CUE support for FLAC and WavPack files, CUE sheets, CDDB for album information, and the ability to detect removable devices through HAL or UDisks. Additionally, Qmmp allows video playback utilizing Mplayer, supports multiple playlists, and includes an alternative user interface built on a standard widget set, complete with a 10-band equalizer.
As multimedia consumption continues to evolve, Qmmp provides a robust and user-friendly option for both casual listeners and audiophiles alike. Its frequent updates and community-driven development ensure that it remains a relevant choice for users looking to enjoy their media without the concerns associated with outdated software.
In summary, Qmmp not only fills the void left by Winamp but also offers a range of features that cater to diverse user needs, making it a compelling option in the multimedia player landscape
