HippoPlayer

HippoPlayer is an audio player suitable for all nostalgic persons out there, as its main purpose is to support old music created on old systems, such as Amiga, C64, and other gaming platforms.

As mentioned, HippoPlayer aims to become your go-to software for enjoying old-school sounds that are no longer supported by modern apps.

Nonetheless, it can also be used as your default playback solution as it can correctly play modern formats as well: MP3, OGG, FLAC and so on.

Just like you would expect from a music player, you can easily play, pause or stop the current track, as well as jump to the previous or the next song. You can loop the current track, randomize the playlist or add entire directories to be processed.

Another strong point of HippoPlayer comes from its support of plugins, as they are responsible for all the app's functions. Basically, if you disable one or more plugins, you can end up with a bare-bones tool that can only play the selected sound.

One of these plugins makes it possible for the utility to view a wide range of details about your song, such as full path, title, song type, artist, album name, date, genre and length. It goes without saying that the plugin only displays the data when it is stored within the file's metadata.

You get the possibility to create a list with the priority assigned to each plugin, depending on their importance to you.

In a nutshell, HippoPlayer can be either a minimalist music player or a feature-packed one, according to the plugins you enable. You can create a list with both old-school sounds and modern files, and enjoy them without any discrimination within the same main window.
