An audio player that can be used on different operating systems and is based on the curses library. It is designed for use with USB flash drives.
One thing to note is that Slap only supports mp3 format. However, it has the advantage of running anywhere Python is installed and an mpg123 binary can be obtained or compiled. This software is a secure and portable mp3 player that conveniently fits on your USB stick.
Some additional benefits of Slap include:
- Affordability: USB flash drives are the cheapest, portable storage option available compared to other devices such as iPods and Zens. With a computer always nearby, why pay extra for an MP3 player?
- Portability: Take your music anywhere without any restrictions, and enjoy seamless playback with Slap on hand.
- No Configuration: Avoid any tedious installation of new media players on different PCs, especially those which may not allow it. With Slap, you're basically carrying everything you need with you.
- Consistency: If you're constantly using different media players on various systems, then Slap is the solution. Forget about the hassles and peculiarities of media players such as Winamp, iTunes, Real Player, Windows Media Player, VLC, mplayer, XMMS, and Noatun. Slap works powerfully and consistently everywhere.
- Cleanliness: With Slap, there is no need to copy music files onto work PCs. You can play your music directly from your Slapstick and avoid any conflict with your employer.
Slap is available on Mac OS X, Windows XP, FreeBSD 6.2, and Linux. Its cross-functionality ensures that it works efficiently across various operating systems.
