The Beep Media Player (BMP) was a free audio player, based on the XMMS multimedia player. The BMP is mainly a port of XMMS to GTK+ 2 and, as such, integrates better with the look and feel of more recent versions of GNOME, Xfce, and, if using the GTK-QT theme engine for KDE, KDE desktop environments. Like XMMS, BMP looks like Winamp and even supports Winamp and XMMS skins. BMP supports most of the audio file formats supported by XMMS, since the main difference between the plug-ins used in both players is the graphical widget toolkit used for 'About' and configuration dialog boxes. However, BMP cannot directly use XMMS plugins because of the differences in GTK versions--XMMS plug-ins requiring configuration will crash because some GTK 1.x symbols clash with the ones in GTK 2.x, so plug-ins have to be ported to GTK 2.x in order to compile. XMMS plug-ins that have already been compiled "may" work if copied to BMP's plug-in directory; however, this is unsupported, and any dialog boxes created by the plug-ins will probably make BMP segfault.

Forks

Along with the announcement of the 0.9.7.1 release, the BMP development team also announced that BMP would not be actively developed anymore. Instead, the team would spend development effort on the next generation of BMP, called BMPx. A few days following the announcement, William "nenolod" Pitcock decided to fork classical BMP as Audacious Media Player.
