Usually a don't listen to mp3 music on my laptop and I have to say that, before making this post, I didn't had any mp3 files on my laptop - just copied some music from a CD now. I like to listen on line radios directly from the site or music from YouTube.

Because of that I really don't need a powerful audio player with a lot of options and gadgets, blink-blinks and other things! I need a simple player which doesn't use a lot of memory and plays the music very well when I need to listen some mp3's  Those I've found this audio player called AlsaPlayer.

AlsaPlayer is heavily multi-threaded and tries to excercise the ALSA library and driver quite a bit. It has some very interesting features unique to Linux/Unix players.

The name AlsaPlayer might be confusing a bit today since it's supporting a whole bunch of different output systems.
