XMPlay is a universal, free and portable music player developed by Un4seen Developments in 1998. It comes with tiny file size (less than 500 KB), compact and clear UI, powerful extensibility (skins, plugins, visuals and other add-ons), support to all popular audio formats, low memory usage, programmable music playback support, drag-and-drop operation support, complete keyboard shortcuts, and more. In short, it can compete with any premium music players, including foobar 2000 and Winamp.

I’m sure that many people use XMPlay for its so powerful extensibility, which is why it’s so attractive. At present, its official website has provided a large number of skins (you can also make your own ones), visual effects, native plug-ins, Winamp-compatible addons, DSP plugin, compression and decompression add-ons, third-party decoder plug-ins, lyrics extension, and many other plug-ins for free download. Through plug-in extension, XMPlay is able to directly play audio files stored in a compressed archive package (including RAR, ARJ, LZH, ZIP, PP… and so on compressed file formats) and support more audio formats (such as all Winamp supported audio file formats).

XMPlay originally only supported the XM file format generated by the Fast Tracker II music tracker, which is where it got its name. This is why it is still the only super advanced and versatile player & converter for keygen dedicated music formats for many advanced computer users! In other words, when you encounter some special music file format that can not be played with common media player in any way, do try it with XMPlay. Therefore, XMPlay can be said to be the mini transformer among music players.

// Use Instructions //

The recommended usage of plug-ins and skins is as follows:

Create Skins, Plugins, and Visuals folders in XMPlay’s installation folder, then extract the downloaded skin, plugin, and visual files in zip format into their respective folders. Or, you can just put them all in the same path as the main program, but that would be confusing. When the files are put in the correct folders, it may be required to restart XMPlay to make it effective.

• To switch Skin: right click on the interface, and select in the “Skin” menu
• To toggle Visual: press F4, and use right-click to change
• To set Plugin: go to “Options and stuff/Plugins”
