AMPlayerDS is an audio player written entirely in Visual Basic .NET and based on the .NET Framework and WinForms

Various audio formats are supported in playback, including mp3, ogg, opus, wav, wma and compact disc:

• MP3 decoding is based on the open source library mpg123
• OGG decoding is based on the ogg and vorbis library
• WAV and CD decoding are written entirely in visual basic
• WMA,ACC (and possibly mp3, wav) decoding is based on the Media Foundation

Support for transcoding input file types to mp3 (via lame encoder) or wav. Ability to rip CDs to mp3 or wav. During encoding you can change the audio quality through the libsamplerate library.

Application of the Fast Fourier Transform in real time on the audio being reproduced for the graphic visualization of the frequencies

Support for reading and writing playlists, m3u (probably in the future also .pls)

Ability to apply audio effects such as equalizer (Biquad filters) and Phase shift

Audio output based on multi-threading stream on WaveOut or DirectSound API

Manage windows file associations. It has a framework for managing single instances and communication between instances using the windows API.

This project was born as an attempt to understand the principle behind the operation of common audio players such as winamp, foobar, etc. written in a simple language such as VB.NET
