Multimedia Player

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 381 000 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 3.0

  • (Added) 64-bit Windows build available alongside the existing 32-bit build.
  • (Added) Full Unicode support throughout the app: non-ASCII filenames, paths, tags, .lnk shortcut targets, and playlists (.mpl/.pls/.m3u) now work correctly (Japanese, Cyrillic, accented Latin, etc.).
  • (Added) Modern Microsoft Edge (WebView2) browser in the Media Library, replacing the legacy IE/Trident embedded browser.
  • (Added) Detection of USB/eSATA external drives via storage hot-plug queries.
  • (Added) Greek (Ελληνικά) and Spanish (Español) translations.
  • (Updated) Codebase migrated from Delphi 7 (2008) to Delphi 12 Athens – modernized toolchain underpinning the Unicode and 64-bit support listed above.
  • (Updated) Optional audio codecs (FLAC, Opus, ALAC, APE, WavPack, MIDI, AC3, AAC, OFR, Speex, TTA, MPC, ADX, CD, WMA, FX, encoder, tags) load on demand. If a codec DLL is missing, the affected file extensions disappear from the open dialog and corresponding features (Music Ripper, MIDI soundfont, CD eject/read) disable themselves gracefully instead of crashing.
  • (Updated) Required-DLL check at startup: clear localized message if a critical BASS component is missing.
  • (Updated) BASS DLLs refreshed to their respective latest versions:
    • bass 2.4.11 -> 2.4.18.3, bass_aac 2.4.6 -> 2.4.7.2
    • bass_ac3 2.4.0.8 -> 2.4.0.9, bassalac 2.4.0.3 -> 2.4.1
    • bassape 2.4 -> 2.4.1, basscd 2.4.7.1 -> 2.4.8
    • bassenc 2.4.16.1 -> 2.4.17, bassflac 2.4.5.4 -> 2.4.6.1
    • bassmidi 2.4.14.1 -> 2.4.16, bassopus 2.4.2.4 -> 2.4.3.3
    • tags 0.0.19 -> 0.0.20, libFLAC 13.0 -> 14.0
  • (Updated) Magnets snap behavior tweaked for a smoother feel.
  • (Updated) Spectrogram visualizer now uses a logarithmic frequency scale for better & more precise low-end detail.
  • (Updated) Skin engine + bundled skins refreshed.
  • (Updated) Tag editor / reader pipeline (ID3v1, ID3v2, OggVorbis, WMA) modernized for Unicode.
  • (Updated) Faster app startup: main forms and components load lazily;
  • (Updated) File extensions association manager: Workflow shows clear feedback (success / “needs admin” / partial-failure error)
  • (Updated) Update-available dialog with embedded changelog preview: when a new version is detected, a skinned dialog shows the version delta + readable whatsnew with Download.
  • (Updated) ZipForge dependency removed: ZIP support now uses a simpler and faster built-in solution.
  • (Fixed) Intermittent crash when clicking in the Media Library playlist.
  • (Fixed) Brief blank flash when resizing the Media Library list view.
  • (Fixed) Crash when the selection-frame color blend hit certain skin combinations.
  • (Fixed) ID3v2 tag writes no longer corrupt adjacent fields in certain conditions.
  • (Fixed) OggVorbis tag trimming preserved correctly.
  • (Fixed) Recording input enumeration after BASS DLL updates.
  • (Fixed) Playlist context menu appears at the correct position.
  • (Fixed) Playlist search box no longer flickers while typing.
  • (Fixed) Range / out-of-bounds bugs in the Spectrum visualizer.
  • (Fixed) Spectrogram visualizer Y-axis was flipped.
  • (Fixed) Konami code easter egg now activates reliably when the full sequence is entered.
  • (Fixed) Dangling pointer on shuffler thread at app close.
  • (Fixed) Registered file-association icon now uses a stable resource ID, avoiding the wrong icon being shown after toolchain icon-injection.
  • (Fixed) Bulk Select all / Deselect in Extensions tab no longer flickers checkboxes during the update.
  • (Fixed) Media Library browser-tab status bar grip sometimes resized the status bar itself instead of the form.
  • (Fixed) Crash when an online stream’s playlist entry was removed while the stream kept playing and metadata kept arriving.
  • (Fixed) Radio favorites: https URLs were treated as new entries on every Add click.

Notes

  • 32-bit retains the full feature set including Sonique .svp visualizers, Winamp DSP plugins, and ADX audio format support.
  • 64-bit drops those three (all 32-bit-only by their respective SDKs); everything else works on both.
