Features
[edit]Playback formats
[edit]elpAudio uses FMODex sound system for media playback, so it has media playback for MP3, AAC, M4A, OGG, FLAC, WAV, WMA, MOD, XM, S3M and IT formats. It supports gapless playback for all file types, which can be enabled in settings.
Themes (skins)
[edit]elpAudio has customization support, user can change elpAudio theme, download them from official website[1] or make his own theme.
Custom plug-ins and visualisers
[edit]elpAudio has it's own file formats for plugins and visualisers - .plg (plugin) and .vis (visualiser). Those file formats are equal to .gml - Game Maker Language files, but slightly different from it. Official elpAudio site is having documentation for how to make your own plug-ins and visualisers. Those facts allow users to create their own plug-ins and visualisers.
Plug-ins

elpAudio visualisers are allowing user to create oscilloscopes, playlist manager, draw album arts and even make games inside of elpAudio's visualiser window.
Getting metadata
[edit]elpAudio can get metadata from every sound file listed above. ID3v1, APE, XM, MOD, S3M, IT and FLAC metadata are supported, but user can add their own metadata grabber using plug-ins.
Playlists
[edit]elpAudio has it's own playlist formats, .elf (elpAudio List File, deprecated because of confusing with PlayStation 2 executable files) and .epl (elpAudio PlayList). Those formats are human-readable, containing only playlist version on the first line (.epl only) and paths to music files.
"elpAudio Playlist Migration" can convert popular playlist types (M3U, PLS (file format), WPL, RDF) to .epl format.
elpAudio saves songs that were added at elpAudio are saving into temp.epl playlist, that is loading at elpAudio start.
History
[edit]elpoep, the elpAudio creator, said: "I made this audio player because i like simplicity of my first MP3-player, IRiver T9, the style of Winamp and visualisers from Foobar2000".
