Billy - Portable Audio Player

Submitted by version on September 13, 2006 - 11:52pm

I use this audio player as a general music player on my home computer because it's small and does the job i want. Recently i tried putting it on my USB Drive to keep my other portable apps company, hoping it would work as it doesnt create any reg key entries.

As i suspected it worked like a charm and now im sharing my find with you. If you want a fast, low cpu/ram music player which you can take on the road with you check out this piece of software.

I'm using the Billy 1.03 (no setup) version.

If anyone is interested in making a launcher for it like the other portable apps please contact the author of the software at:

K-lite mega codec pack:

1) It is totally open source

4) Just needs the codecs to be portoble
4a) or integrate codecs with already portable media player classic

5) The mega package already has quicktime alternative and realplayer alternative>>>> BOTH OPEN SOURCE!!!!!

Please let it become portable

Winamp 5.0?

I've actually tried this one. Copying and pasting winamp folder and transfering it to a usb drive...then pasting it to my disk space on my school's network. It opened and worked but I always got this message that some file was missing. Could you please look into that, would appreciate it. Thanks.

XULRunner Portable

Submitted by lord2800 on September 11, 2006 - 7:26pm

This seems like it shouldn't be too difficult to make portable. I'd very much like to not have to use FireFTP and ChatZilla via Firefox(because it takes a long time to load up on my portable drive -- I'm blaming the USB1.1 interface at work on that), and XULRunner seems to be the answer to that, but it makes entries in the registry and I don't know the first thing about making an app portable. If this has already been done and I somehow missed it in my search, I'd be glad for a shove in the right direction.

Real Alternative

Submitted by winshipvarner on September 10, 2006 - 10:07pm

More often than not I have problems using Realplayer to play some streaming realmedia file. Often it cannot find the proper codecs or the codecs can't be installed (or else something else goes wrong). So I've stopped using Realplayer and started using Real Alternative (which works much better than the original). It would be great if this could be made into a portable app. It can be found at http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_Alternative.htm
