Being an audiophile I think I have tested all audio players available from windows and I have never thought I would find a player even close to my all-time favourites AIMP, foobar2000, XMPlay, 1by1 and MusicBee. But last December I came upon Blues Media Player and I was stunned how I had missed such a great player. Blues Media Player is a mature, rich in features product which can play almost all audio and video formats. It's portable (the user should choose the portable installation option while installing), it's highly customizable (the list of its options is overwhelming), it's nice-looking and skinnable (the user may choose between 32 different skins), it has built-in audio- and video converters, it offers playlist and tag editors, cue maker, advanced search, internet radio playback, favourites, customizable hot-keys, queue, equalizer, visualization and tray control, to mention some of its main features. Besides its huge list of supported audio formats for me its most essential feature is its great handling of cue sheets (for me an audio player that doesn't support cue files is close to useless). The developer of Blues Media Player- Eugene Bereza, is very helpful and open to suggestions. Blues Media Player is in active development and it is clean (no tricky install options, no tool-bars, no ads).

I suppose that because of its versatility Blues Media Player would be a nice addition to The Portable Freeware database.

Very nice media player with lots of features and customization options. Thanks.


I prefer the (uni)extract route, I know it involves a bit more work to move the config files to the correct folder and all that but the installer is not stealth


BTW, I have not tested it thoroughly yet but BMP is not stealth...

Nice find, smaragdus. Blues Media Player (BMP) looks like an excellent general purpose media player with a slew of customization options.

Niggles I found during the briefest of tests: I have no idea how to open the "Radio" player (see screenshot below), other than giving BMP a working URL from the "File | Open URL"; also it doesn't seem to like 'WMA' streams...

And here is BMP's main window sporting the included "CyanDusk" skin:
