This is 'THE' best media player that i've found yet. I'm so impressed with it that i've just made a donation.

I'd recommend it, in fact, I 'DO' Recommend it!.

v1.5.160 (2016-02-09) released !

The software hasn’t been updated since Feb 2016, which may account for this attractive player not enjoying the popularity it deserves.
Sound quality is good.
The reason I chose it is because its default skin is elegant, functional and space-sparing, with large buttons and the playlist attached below the player without non-essential additions.
You can easily create playlists (drag-and-drop supported) and change the order of their contents to whatever you like. For portability, save the playlist M3U8 files in the player’s folder.
Memory usage is less than 10 MB, quite negligible for any modern system.
The player places a lot of emphasis on being skinnable, if the user takes the trouble, which I didn’t see the need for.
The hot keys are the player’s main weakness. The default ones are not user-friendly. You can assign your own, but as they (oddly) also have effect when the player is in the background, if you type on another app while listening to music, it may interfere.

If this project is no longer in development, does anyone have the source? I'm not a developer by trade, but re-setting up the project is something I'd like to take on.
