The Core Pocket Media Player (TCPMP) is a software media player which operates on portable devices and Windows-based PCs. It is discontinued, but still available from the official mirror site. Supported operating systems include Palm OS, Symbian OS, and Microsoft Windows, CE, and Mobile. It is also available on Microsoft's Zune HD via a hack called Liberate. TCPMP also has hardware accelerated playback for ATI and Intel 2700G mobiles, such as the Tapwave Zodiac and Dell Axim X50v/X51V.
Development of the free version of the software was discontinued by CoreCodec in favour of the commercially licensed CorePlayer, though TCPMP is still regarded as one of the more versatile media players for PocketPC and Palm OS mobile devices.
According to the CoreCodec.com website as of September 2002, the development team planned to continue development and releases of the open source version of the player "offsite"; this code would also be incorporated into the commercial player. In 2004, on CoreCodec.org, the open source player was released as BetaPlayer 0.01a for Windows CE and Windows Mobile. It was renamed The Core Pocket Media Player in July 2005 upon its release for the Palm OS and Windows CE/Mobile operating systems. A release of TCPMP for the Symbian OS has been remarked upon, but further information about it is available only in forums.
The TCPMP project page indicates that the development languages used were "assembly, C". In 2006, CoreCodec Inc. discontinued development of TCPMP to focus on the commercial CorePlayer Platform.
