GNU EMMS is the Emacs Multimedia System. It tries to be a clean and small application to play multimedia files from Emacs using external players. Many of it's ideas are derived from MpthreePlayer , but it tries to be more general and cleaner.

The fact that EMMS is based on external players makes it powerful, because it supports all formats that those players support, with no effort from your side.

Here are some key features of "GNU EMMS":
Free Software (as in Free Speech, and Free Beer)
Extensible
Very light (some might even say stealth)
Audio support : MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC
Video support : MPEG, WMV, MOV, AVI, OGM, MKV, etc...
Tagging capability, possibly batched
Playlist management
Remotely drivable via emacsclient (playlist creation via rox-filer, for example))
And last but no least : Written in Emacs lisp.
