I&acute;ve never heard of it until now. It looks pretty cool, but it&acute;s a 3.66 MB file and the site says &quot;Windows95 and Windows98 users MUST upgrade their system to DCOM 1.3 (or higher). You can download the DCOM upgrade from Microsoft for free: [about 1MB].&quot; <BR>It&acute;s stupid that the specs are avialable upon request only. <BR> <BR> <BR>

hehe Elwin the Evil at work again ;) <BR>Btw, the player is quite nice actually! Good sound quality. Got some nice GUI features, like sliding &quot;drawers&quot; for diff settings etc etc... <BR>Supports <b>alot</b> of audioformats. <BR>But it&acute;s kinda CPU hungry compared to WA/Coolplayer though!

I find it curious though that there is this skinnable app, which has seem to be around forever and no-one has ever heard of it. <BR> <BR>And I&acute;m the news ripper, you&acute;re supposed to send me news! <BR> <BR><b>/me</b> goes kick Elwin, &acute;cos that&acute;s what people do with Jesters

Oh yeah, download file size is partially because they included some Visual C runtime libraries (you know, the msvc60.dll stuff).

After trying to download it (&acute;cos it supports Vorbis) +/- 5 times, I&acute;m going to through in the towel. Looks nice though. <BR> <BR>&quot;deli_130.exe is not a valid Win32 application&quot; <BR> <BR>GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. }:(

Umm, it seems you need to have some special files (which youcan find on their site). Anyway, I myself haven&acute;t tried it yet, ain&acute;t got no soundcard here at work.

||| <BR> <BR>dp was used by millions of computer users by 1995. old ppl know this. :) <BR>Then it was called Delitracker. The delitracker UI/skin (or in those days &acute;layout&acute;) was copied by many audio software programs.... on the PC the closest &acute;Delitracker look&acute; ie retro Amiga styl&acute;ee was modplug. But Winamp grabbed the stick and ran with its familiar Delitracker&acute;ish layout....better Winamp than M$oft. <BR>DT was the A1 player on the Amiga.. and still in use. <BR>don&acute;t know if anyone would want to cloan its PC layout ??. Looks a bit whacky now .&acute;¬) <BR>can someone make a smart hifi rack look for it plz :) I am not using any of its skins at the moment. <BR>

Wow! Very informative indeed. We should add that to the description we gave it here. It&acute;s better than what we said :)
