The Doctor's Lair

2MIDI / BASS / MID2XM / MO3 / XM-EXE / XMPlay, as I have found is a very kewl audio player. Its tiny in size (~600K) and does not need an installation. It has just the right number of features that I want and is not bloated like other players are. Even though small, this player packs quite a punch. Features include accurate play, gapless output, interpolation for better clarity while being low on CPU usage, small memory footprint. In other words, it there just for playing music, which if I may say so it does amazingly well. And if you want more functionality, there are tons of plugings to use along, including one that allows for using winamp pluging as well. The only problem with this player is that it is available only for windows and only windows. There is a lot of discussion in the XMplay forums for trying to get it ported to Linux. But with the source code being closed, that's not going to happened soon. (The player is free though).

highly recommended - 4 1/2 stars.
