Introduction

MoolPlayer is a small and fast music player which does not need any other files to play music. Download the EXE and run. Supported files are MPEG, OGG, WAV. MoolPlayer is based from CoolPlayer, http://coolplayer.sf.net. Thanks very much to the guys that produced CoolPlayer!

MoolPlayer is called MoolPlayer because it is based on CoolPlayer and it is my version of it. It was called mooplay, mooplayer, but there is already a program called MooPlay. However, the SourceForge project page for MoolPlayer will continue to exist as mooplay.

Latest news

17 December 2007

It's official. I am now part of the official CoolPlayer dev team, and my fixes and improvements to the official, original CoolPlayer are being merged as we speak. Expect a release soon.

What does this mean for mooplay

It just means mooplay can concentrate on being separate from CoolPlayer in GUI terms, and still use the most recent CoolPlayer engine. mooplay with its standard windows interface GUI will be released eventually.

Whats next

The website needs to be updated to reflect the changes, and to remove all CoolPlayer changes as these are now available officially from CoolPlayer.

Its been a long time since the last update but just to let you know the project still lives. The link to the blog has been wrong, but it now works and is hosted on this sourceforge website.

I have done alot of fixes including ones which were in the CoolPlayer bug reports page, and added some features including the oldie "Just Add files to the playlist".

I hope to have a few versions on here

Normal coolplayer, exactly the one from the official website - but with the bug fixes - so the official team can use them
The 205 version with the old playlist, except use the updated engine.
Have mooplay with the completely different UI like shown in the blog - but uses the updated coolplayer engine aswell

Things are busy right now but they will be released.

There is a new test version available on the blog at http://mooplay.sf.net/blog/

MoolPlayer 217 beta is now in progress, which is based upon MoolPlayer 216. The screenshot is showing that the main window no longer uses skins. I will improve the interface by adding in the necesarry features, such as playback status, time, track info etc and tidy up the layout. I've also managed to do a little bit of internal tidying.

The 217 release will have a fully native main window for improved performance and to blend in with Windows more. I will also remove the skin resources, and tidy up some more. This should make 217 smaller than 216 :-) One step at a time, it will get there.

After 217, I hope to remove the skins from the playlist. But this will only happen with a practically full rewrite of the playlist system (alot of work). The functionality of the playlist window is all done by CoolPlayer, instead of using the standard Windows ListView. Both have their advantages/disadvantages.
