Zinf is a free audio player released under the GNU General Public License. It runs on Unix-like operating systems and Windows (although the Windows port is on hiatus) and can play sound files in MP3, Vorbis, and WAV formats, among others. Zinf is a continuation of the FreeAmp project and uses the same source code. Use of the name "FreeAmp" had to be discontinued due to trademark issues: "AMP" is a trademark of PlayMedia Systems, Inc. "Zinf" is a recursive acronym that stands for "Zinf Is Not FreeA*p!"
Zinf supports skins and is part of the MusicBrainz network. The player features an optimized version of the Xing MPEG decoder, a powerful music browser and playlist editor, and a built in download manager which supports downloading files from sites using the RMP (RealJukebox) download process.
