The Beep Media Player (BMP) is a free audio player, based on the XMMS multimedia player. The BMP is mainly a port of XMMS to GTK+ 2 and as such, integrates better with the look and feel of more recent versions of the GNOME desktop environment. Like XMMS, BMP looks like Winamp and even supports Winamp (and XMMS) skins. BMP supports most of the audio file formats supported by XMMS, since the main difference between input plugins used in both players is the graphical widget toolkit used for 'About' and configuration dialog boxes. However, BMP cannot directly use all XMMS plugins.

Along with the announcement of the 0.9.7.1 release, the BMP development team also announced that BMP would not be actively developed anymore. Instead, the team would spend development effort on the next generation of BMP, called BMPx. A few days following the announcement, William "nenolod" Pitcock decided to fork classical BMP as Audacious Media Player.
