OS: Linux, Unix
Genre: Media player
License: GNU General Public License

The Beep Media Player (BMP) is a free audio player, based on the XMMS multimedia player. The BMP is mainly a port of XMMS to GTK+ 2 and as such, integrates better with the look and feel of more recent versions of the GNOME desktop environment. Like XMMS, BMP looks like Winamp and even supports Winamp (and XMMS) skins. BMP supports most of the audio file formats supported by XMMS, since the main difference between input plugins used in both players is the graphical widget toolkit used for 'About' and configuration dialog boxes. However, BMP cannot directly use all XMMS plugins.

As of February 19th, 2006, BMP is also facing removal from Gentoo Linux's Portage, the distribution's main package repository.

Beep Media Player is a multimedia player that currently uses a skinned user interface based on Winamp 2.x skins.
For everyone that currently packages BMP for some distro or is planning to to package BMPx as well: Please don't do that yet.
If you're packing it alongside BMP (which currently is possible without problems), you are free to do so of course (we won't prohibit downloads of our tarballs :P), but please be aware that BMPx is in beta-stage and some code parts are still in alpha stage.
