Music Applet has been superseded by Panflute. All active development is taking place there.
Different music players have different feature sets, and many players do not make all of their features available to other programs programmatically.
The following table lists all the music players that Music Applet supports, and identifies which optional features are or are not available when using that player. Any feature not listed in the table is supported by all plugins; the table only lists features for which support varies.
