Xion is a high fidelity, easily skinnable, out of this world audio player.

Xion features a new standard in skin support. Baffled by script syntax? Pulling your hair out over slicing up skin elements? Crying over spilt milk?

Xion also supports direct loading from Zip files which allow you to package several .PSD files in the one package. This has the added benefit of being compressed and therefore consumes less disk space.

Xion Features Full layered skins with complete animation support, Powerful playlist support, Gapless playback, 10 Band Equalizer with presets, Auto play and position saver, customizable global hotkeys, single click play/pause, and much much more!
