Information
- OldPlay is a music player that uses sidplay1, modplug, adplug, UADE, Game_Music_Emu, tremor, FLAC, wavpack, mpcdec, faad2, in_cube, timidity, tta, UADE, MAC and MAD to play a multitude of classic (and new) music formats.
- FLAC are played with libFLAC along with fast seeking and vorbis comment parsing.
- Sids are played using libsidplay1 (sidplay2/resid's requirements are too high to work on gp2x) and so filter emulation is not great.
- Amiga formats uses UADE, which is based on UAE (The Amiga Emulator) and Eagleplayer. It takes quite a lot of CPU so the equalizer is automatically turned off when playing amiga formats. However, if you want to avoid stuttering on TFMX and other songs that require a bit more CPU, you can try overclocking.
- Nintendo and Sega 8 & 16bit music are played using Game_Music_Emu (and 3 other formats).
- AdPlug for lots of midi formats for Adlib.
- MP3s and MP2 are played with libmad. Complete ID3v1 tag parsing is present and length are calculated for CBR songs and VBR songs with Xing header.
Fast seeking is present for both CBR songs and VBR with Xing heeaders.
- OGGs are played with Tremor. Comment parsing is present (Title, artist, album, date, tracknumber etc.etc.) and fast seeking.
- Oldplay also uses libzip to look inside zipfiles (which is almost a requirement when playing from HVSC).
- Support for M3u PLS and OPL (own format) playlists. OPL can be saved internally and supports tracks within zips.
- NEW in 0.995 : Create playlists for specific subtunes and manual track length easily from within OldPlay!

Themes
The look of OldPlay is configurable through a config file, which contains settings for colors, fonts, sizes and bitmaps. You can modify the default or create new ones. Oldplay loads "default.cfg" normally, will load another if you give it as the first argument on the commandline.
