What is HippoPlayer?

The original HippoPlayer is something I used a lot when I had my Amiga. Over many years I tried various players and while some of them hold up none of them has been what I been looking for. Before starting this project I looked around quite a bit for alternatives and nothing really fit the bill.

Closest is likely XMPlay, but that's for Windows only and closed source which isn't what I want either but feature wise it's fairly good. I started this project roughly 7 years ago. I did some work in a private repository and had something very basic up and running. Then other things happened and the project has been on ICE for quite many years but I always had it back in my head that I wanted to come back to it.

The aim I have with HippoPlayer is "a modern music player for your oldsk00l needs" This means it should feel nice and great to use with features that you can expect from a modern player but allow you to play older formats in the best way possible.
