KSP (KSP Sound Player or Kalliope Sound Player) is a proprietary free audio player for Windows which is developed and distributed by Kalliope s.c. Company. KSP previously was called KMP from Kalliope MediaPlayer but during the development process Kalliope s.c. resigned from any form of video player embedded into its product and KSP started its slow journey from media to audio player.

[edit] Development Goals

Kalliope s.c. from the beginning wanted to create something new and original. Every KSP release includes some new features which are discovered by Kalliope s.c. itself or are inspired by very rare other players. KSP authors had seen that there is no ideal player for Windows. KSP is developed for people who want extraordinary features or are using more than one audio player and want to make a change.
