Re: Tiny Audio Players -- Serenity

#17 Post by Midas »

New tiny player dug up: please welcome Serenity Audio Player, a GPL2 FLOSS whose single executable clocks down at 48kb -- in my briefest of tests, it played both MP3 and M4A/AAC totally fine.

Sadly, not natively portable as it saves what meager settings it uses to registry: 'HKCU\Software\Serenity Audio Player'...
Serenity Audio Player is a simple, clean and lightweight audio player. It uses Windows codecs without a hefty interface.

Serenity last stable release (currently v3.4.1, dated 2017-07-17) can be downloaded from http://www.malsmith.net/serenity/.

Well, you can get some of the precompiled examples from BASS package (in \c\bin\)
E.g., basstest.exe+bass.dll(v2.4.13.8)=134,812 B
Can play everything that BASS supports
(MP3, MP2, MP1, OGG, WAV, AIFF, custom generated, and more via OS codecs and add-ons), MOD music (XM, IT, S3M, MOD, MTM, UMX), MO3 music (MP3/OGG compressed MODs)
Latest "stuff" version always there

Thanks for the update, __philippe. And nice tip there, billon.

FTR and in the "my player plays more than yours" category, Serenity can even play video... :shock:

I tried afterwards with a MP4 file, intending to check if it would play the audio, and to my amazement (and enjoyment) it launched a video frame and played the video flawlessly. Of course, the secret sauce here is the K-Lite Codec Pack that I have grown used to throw into any Windows that I install, but nevertheless...

Cool list! Another data point to consider adding is memory usage when using these tiny players.

Sometimes small filesize does not equate to small memory usage!
is it stealth? ;)

WV Player is just 256 kb without the help file - plays video too

http://www.webxpace.com/software/freewa ... l#WvPlayer
Wv_Player is a small but quite complete multimedia player and can play all type of sound *and* video files,
provided you have the necessary codecs installed on your system - but later versions of Windows already have,
so that won't be a problem.

So, this software plays all your Multimedia files, from WAV, MIDI, MPG, AVI, WMV, MP3, MP4,... and so many more, too many to list here, really.
