QMMP is a free audio player for Linux and Windows that combines playback with music-collection management. Its library-management tools help organize a collection, while playlist support lets listeners arrange tracks for playback. QMMP handles MP3, Ogg Vorbis, Ogg Opus, FLAC, WAV, and AAC files. Tag editing allows users to change information attached to audio files. Gapless playback moves between tracks without an intervening silence. These listed capabilities keep QMMP focused on desktop listening and organizing rather than additional services. The software has a free plan and no paid tier is listed. Linux and Windows are the supported platforms. For listeners choosing a player, the important scope is clear: file playback for the specified formats, playlists, a managed library, editable tags, and gapless transitions. The supplied details do not describe mobile versions, online services, or other platform support.
