MusikCube

musikCube is a partially open source audio player. Originally created as a fork of wxMusik, it has since been expanded to include capabilities not available in wxMusik. Internally, musikCube uses the proprietary BASS audio library to provide playback support.

Features

musikCube is based on a modular plugin architecture, and may use plugins written in C or C++. Besides extraneous features such as Last.fm support and Instant messaging support, plugins provide core functionality for playback formats or hardware support. Plugins currently exist to provide support for many popular audio codecs, including MP3, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, and FLAC. Unusually for a media player, there is no support for alternative skins and no support is planned at this time. However, as of version 1.0, a theme editor dialog has been added allowing users to change the colors within their player.

Internally, musikCube uses the SQLite database library for storing track and playlist metadata. This allows dynamic playlists to be constructed using SQL queries, rather than the more limited graphical interfaces popular in other media players.
