dplayer (short for "directory player") is a simple music file player written in Java. Instead of using a sophisticated playlist management or "my music" repository, it offers a file system browser to let you choose directories containing music files.

I decided to release a beta version this time (b19). dplayer underwent a lot of refactoring under the hood. Especially the multi-threaded file scanner and an event-driven architecture made a lot of changes necessary. I expect quite some bugs :( But still, I use dplayer every day for myself and it has proven to be stable enough. The background scanner allows me to access my extensive music collection on a NAS system via WLAN with acceptable responsiveness. I can choose a folder to play within a few seconds. While playback starts, the scanner continues to scan all the other folders.
* new native installer (Win only) * new language: French * Settings dialog: almost all settings can be controlled by the new dialog * search path for covers: dplayer can search in several folders for album covers * only one dplayer instance allowed: if dpalyer is called with a music file as argument while another dplayer is already running, the running dplayer will switch to the specified file and the second dplayer will terminate immediately * multi-threaded: dpalyer will scan for music files in the background; this makes the GUI more responsive to user input, especially when dealing with larger music collections
