Trout is a sample music / audio player. It is a fantastic little app that fits in with my preferences in program design i.e. standard controls, no skins, etc. However, it only supports MP3, WAV, OGG, & FLAC and it also doesnt display or use tags. Unfortunately, my audio collection comprises many more formats than that and I tag files like a man possessed.

So, with that in mind, Ive always wanted to write my own simple player. The Trout software was developed to be an easy-to-use music / audio player.
