Welcome to the Official Website of TC Player


TC Player is a minimalistic, yet powerful audio player written in C#. It comes with a a Total Commander lister & Packer plugin, that make it a useful companion application for Total Commander

The main idea behind the creation of TC player was that I needed a simple, minimalistic audio player without fancy features, like Winamp back in the days. So I created this program. The audio decoding is done by the great Bass.dll & it's components. Hope you like it & find it useful. - Ruzsinszki Gábor, aka. Webmaster442
