XMPlay is a freeware audio player for Windows, developed solely by Ian Luck.

Since version 2.4 XMPlay has supported skinning, and a number of different skins are available at the XMPlay Homepage or the XMPlay Support site. A skinning competition in February 2004 determined the current 3.x version skin.

When XMPlay was first released in 1998, it primarily supported the XM format, so it was given the name "XMPlay". (Although it could also play generic MODs.)
