Quintessential Player (also called QCD) is a freeware, multi-format media player developed by Paul Quinn since 1997, when it was known as Quintessential CD (thus, the QCD moniker that remains in use today).

[edit] Features
Quintessential Player natively supports:
- MP3, Ogg, WAV, and CD Playback
- Video Playback with the aid of External Codecs
- Full Speed CD Ripping
- MP3 Encoding
- Streaming Audio
- Tag Editing
- Gracenote CDDB
- Crossfading & EQ
- Multiple Visualizations
- Skins and Plugins
A wide range of audio formats playable via the use of plugins and many more skins allowing the customization of the players interface are obtainable from the Quinnware site.
Quintessential Player also has fully functional Windows Profile support and doesn't require administrator user access to run properly.
[edit] Current development
Currently, Quintessential Player is being redeveloped to include a Media Library, and due to the recent inclusion of Native Video Playback support (as of version 4.50), the QCD project is being re-named to QMP, or Quintessential Media Player, thus more accurately describing its abilities as an all round Media Player Software Application. Latest development build that is carrying the QCD forward is QMP build 120 (version history).
