I was under the impression that due to legal complications it was impossible to write a totally free MPEG player? I'm sort of in a similar situation with eMusic, my package. It has a 'free' player (splay) but I seem to remember reading something about due to patents or copyrights there can't be a totally free one. Someone please let me know if I am wrong...;) Note that otherwise eMusic is free, and also plays MOD/AU/WAV/etc, plus it has a plugin interface for other modules.
