Here you see SoundPlay playing an mp3 file using its standard BeOS look.

You may think this is WinAmp, but this is also SoundPlay. Instead of the standard interface displayed above, you can also use SoundPlay's WinAmp interface. This is what SoundPlay looks like when put into WinAmp mode using a custom skin.

Overview

SoundPlay is a powerful, award-winning audio player with an easy drag and drop interface, that plays a variety of file-formats, including WAV, AIFF, MS-ADPCM, IFF-8SVX, MOD, MIDI, mpeg layer 2 and 3 files and Ogg Vorbis. Third-party plugins extend the range of supported formats even further. Constantly innovating, SoundPlay was the first player on BeOS to play and mix multiple files, the first player to offer full independant pitch-control for each file, the first to do crossfades between files, the first replicable player, and is still the only player on BeOS (not to mention the first player on any platform) able to decode mpeg in reverse (playing backwards). SoundPlay comes with a variety of effect and visualization plugins, is a complete streaming server solution, and was even mentioned in congressional testimony!

Features

Soundplay:

• plays multiple files simultaneously. The files being mixed need not be of the same format, or even the same samplerate and number of channels.
• supports SHOUTcast/ IceCast streaming mp3.
• can also act as a streaming mp3 or ogg server
• has full pitchcontrol from -400% to 400% (SoundPlay was the first player worldwide, and is still the only player on BeOS, that can play mpeg backwards). When mixing multiple files, each file gets its own pitch controller.
• can crossfade between files. To prevent awkward silences between files, SoundPlay can start playing a new file, while the previous file is still fading out.
• accepts color-drops from roColour and others. Customize the way SoundPlay looks.
• has an optional WinAmp-interface with skin support
• includes many sound-effect and visualization plugins
• supports VST plugins
• is font-adaptive. SoundPlay uses its author's award-winning layout library.
• accepts font-drops from FontSelector
• is a replicant. Embed SoundPlay into the desktop or other applications supporting replicants.
• has a powerful playlist editor, and can work with multiple playlists at the same time
