Not much is known about this AAC player. It was developed by Koji Matsunaga.

It has several limitations: only plays 44100Hz files, bitrates of 128, 96 and 64 kbps, MPEG2 Main profile (not even LC!), and has some ISO compliance issues (despite being based on the MPEG Refsoft). It will not play anything else, even WAV files. On the other hand, it has a nice playlist editor and supports skins. And the about box is written in Comic Sans!

Anyway, it was the first GUI player to (attempt to) support AAC, and for that reason, deserves acknowledgement.
