The Beep Media Player (BMP) is an audio player application based on the XMMS multimedia player. It was under development from 2003 - 2006 before development switched to BMPx. Along with the announcement of the 0.9.7.1 release, the BMP development team also announced that BMP would not be actively developed any longer. Instead, the team would spend development effort on the next generation of BMP, called BMPx (discontinued). There is also a fork of classic BMP called Audacious.
