Quintessential Media Player Development Build 118

"After a long hiatus, a new QMP (Quintessential Media Player) beta version has been produced. For those new to QMP, consider it QCD (Quintessential Player) with an integrated Media Library plug-in. However it is much more than that. QMP includes all the strengths of QCD, with the additions of more capabilities for plug-ins, more skinning capabilities, and more powerful features for users. QMP still uses QCD's core software so all existing plug-ins and skins will work with QMP (with the exception of Library plug-ins)." Download @ Quinnware Changelog: here
