KD Player is a free J2ME based audio player created by Russiandeveloper Knyzhov Dmitry. It is designed for mobile phones running Operating System Embedded platforms. The program can playback audio files that are supported by the phone model, most commonly mp3 and wav files which the program fully supports. KD Player can be downloaded depending on screen display resolutions that your mobile phone would support. The current resolutions available are in the 128x160, 176x220 and 240x320 size formats. The software was developed with the idea of replacing the standard media player found on many modern phone's as described in the author's description. Playback options include Play, Volume Control, Fast Forward, Rewind, Shuffle and two Repeat modes (playlist repeat and single track repeat). In addition KD Player supports full reading of ID3-tag data and the sorting of tracks by album, artist or track title. The user can specify which folders on your mobile phone to scan which includes scanning the phone's in built memory or memory card. KD player stores the scanned folders in a music library from which the user can read and create playlists and similarly create bookmarks to audio files. Unlike the Walkman player found on specific Sony Ericsson phone models, within KD Player the user must manually update the music library after changes to the list of audio files on the phone have been made, such as newly added or removed audio tracks. KD Player also supports reading of album art from a folder or a files embedded art and supports the changing of the player's visual look by the use of skins.
The skins for KD Player have shown that the album art can be made bigger depending on the skin's layout.
