About jOggPlayer

An open source platform independent Graphical Ogg Vorbis Player!

Developed using Java, so if your system has a Java2 VM you can use this app.

You can now listen to your Oggs using an app that is NOT bloated. In fact this app/let should be able to run on a web page after you set your java security permissions.

I programmed this because I wanted a Java Graphical Vorbis Ogg player. I did it for myself and thought I would share it with you. My first priority was to get something that worked and looked reasonable. There are still some outstanding issues that I want to fix or work on. Don't expect a WinAMP style playlist, Playlists take more effort than the actual player.

Please email me with comments. I don't guaranty that I will reply but I will read them and seriously consider making the changes.
