It is written in C++ using the Qt widget toolkit for the user interface. It officially supports the operating systems Linux, FreeBSD and Microsoft Windows. In most Linux distributions, it is available through the standard package repositories.{{cite web | url=https://repology.org/project/qmmp | title=QMMP package versions - Repology }} Until Audacious switched to Qt in version 4.0, qmmp was the only audio player to use Qt and not feature a database.
