@MAX Tray Player is a small, easy to use but fairly powerful multimedia player intended for everyday use.
Do you like to listen to background music when working with other Windows applications? Then @MAX Tray Player is for you. The program inserts control buttons right into your Windows tray. You don't even have to open the main program window to control the player. While it is lightning fast and has a low impact on system resources, @MAX Tray Player is still a powerful and feature-rich media player.

• @Max Tray Player 1.01b has been released.
  It includes all features of version 1.01 alpha plus:
  
  • A new and, as we think, more attractive default skin. The old default skin is now available on the Skins page.
  • Now you can control the player in the full-screen video mode. Remaining in the full-screen mode, you can pause and resume the playback, select the fragment you are interested in or move to the next video clip, adjust the brightness and saturation of the image, etc.
  and many other changes and bug fixes.

  Your comments and bug reports are very important to us so feel free to use support.
  
  
• The long awaited FAQ and Documentation section are added to the site. They will allow you to find answers to most questions arising when you use the player.
  
  
• Now some sad news J. We decided to change the conditions of distributing the player. Now it is a shareware program. It means that you can evaluate its features for free and decide if you like it or not. If you find Tray Player useful and want to use it after the 30-day evaluation period, a license fee is required (see Tray Player registration page). We think that this attitude towards our users is more honest than trying to make money with a free product using ads, spyware and other methods. We hope you understand.
