Multimedia is an audio player focused on the quality of the sound reproduction. It is comparable to the well known “Winamp” player. It runs really fast because it takes close to no memory and CPU. The main goal when starting this project was to make this player very light, with many features & good audio quality.
Multimedia Player is now at 385 000 lines of code. O.o’
Informations
Multimedia is an audio player dedicated to all musicians and people with weak computers. It is our effort to express our passion for music. It is capable of playing various audio & video formats such as MP3, Modules, CDs, DVDs and open-sourced encoders.
Its playback quality is excellent because it’s based on the famous BASS audio library. Of course, Multimedia is freeware. However, we accept donations. 🙂 Our ambition is to make Multimedia Player the best player around the world.

Changelogs
Version 3.1
- (Added) Allow spectrogram color palette selection with in-combobox gradient preview, including an Adaptive palette that follows the active skin.
- (Updated) Debug window: architecture indicator and memory working-set display.
- (Updated) Skin cohesion and layout fixes: media library and visualizer text now respect the active skin’s font color.
- (Updated) Media library sidebar scrollbar auto-hides when all bands fit the viewport and reappears when content overflows.
- (Updated) Media library list background now uses the skin’s edit surface color, keeping item text legible across skins.
- (Fixed) Volume trackbar moves by a few pixels on mouse release.
- (Fixed) Hotkeys mappings & incorrect single-character key parsing on non-ASCII locales.
- (Fixed) GPU contention crashes with fullscreen games: VMR9 is now allocated only while video is playing, not for the whole app lifetime.
- (Fixed) WMA tag editor now correctly preserves non-Latin1 characters through read/edit/save.
- (Fixed) Trackbars heights adjusted: some skins with taller handle were being partially cropped.
- (Fixed) Resizing a window after a skin swap could clip the visible area to the previous skin’s shape until focus changed.
- (Fixed) Flicker on resize with skins that use a custom region (Win11-style rounded corners).
- (Fixed) Media library scrollbar geometry stuck at the previous skin’s dimensions (thickness / glyphs) until focus change after a skin swap between skins with different scrollbar widths.
- (Fixed) Range-check exception with rounded skins on startup / paint.
- (Fixed) Song time label in the main player was misaligned on startup until a resize event nudged it.
