Also, the collection of plugins not included in the main package, Qmmp Plugin Pack 1.5.0, has been updated, and testing of the Qmmp 2.0 branch, which has migrated to Qt 6, has begun. The program features a Qt-based interface similar to Winamp or XMMS and supports the inclusion of covers from these players.

This includes support for output via OSS4 (FreeBSD), ALSA (Linux), Pulse Audio, JACK, QtMultimedia, Icecast, WaveOut (Win32), DirectSound (Win32), and WASAPI (Win32). The project code is distributed under the GPLv2 license.
