BMPx

BMPx is the successor to the Beep Media Player. BMPx is a free software media player.

It is a compact media player based on the GTK2 toolkit using custom widgets, with plugins basically source compatible with XMMS.

BMPx features support for specifications like XDS DnD, XSPF and DBus. BMPx is highly interoperable and integrates well with other applications and a variety of desktop environments.

While the original BMP was derived from XMMS, BMPx shares only a small amount of code with the original XMMS/BMP codebase, and was rewritten almost entirely from scratch.

It uses GStreamer as its primary audio playback backend.
