No but I think it deserves to be shared with everyone.

Nifty little prog: under 1 MB, it doubles as minimal CPU watcher and keyboard shortcuts manager. Impressive!

Tip: to collapse the graphical seeking area, right-click on it.

Not bad! Another beneficiary of the awesome BASS audio library.

Some quick thoughts:
* Wish the on-screen display could be moved
* Wish it was more like a directory player. Took me awhile to figure out that I had to drag tracks to the right panel in order to queue up tracks in the playlist.
* Right-clicking is a major part of the user experience.

Overall, has some quirks that are both good and bad. But a pretty solid player.
is it stealth? ;)
