Background

In the summer of 2002, David De Bono began to develop a MP3 player/playlist editor. While programs such as WinAmp gives great flexibility in media formats, he wanted to make one with more focus on user friendliness and playlist editing. The finished product, DDBPlayer is very easy to read and operate. And gives great flexibility in editing playlists. Many people use their MP3 player for just playing songs, and making playlist. It's not the intetion of DDBPlayer to support as many formats as WinAmp, neither the often hard to use/read interface of other players.
