Thank you for asking. 

Actually, my MP3 player is not "different", but rather a Reimagining of XMMS.
(Which was awesome, but which ran out of support 2007). Afaik, XMMS itself was
a fork from X11AMP, which was the X11 Version of WinAmp. 
You can find the true glory over here: https://skins.webamp.org


There are other players in the ports, but most of the ones I found were either
"just" command line applications, or based on frontends with a semi-commercial
licensing model. Or they were not able to show WinAmps skins on modern 4K
Monitors. So I created my own, based on GTK4, with the ability to scale up the
skins. 


If you are making the argument that there are already too many Mp3 players in
the ports, what is one more, right? (Even though the others are more mature)
Also, this is the essence of Open Source to me: Give users as many options to
choose from as possible. And if they are not satisfied with them (like me),
have them create their own! :) 


I would also like to point out that (at the moment I am writing this) OpenBSD,
NetBSD and ArchLinux have accepted d11amp into their home. 


So, to sum up, I have two arguments for my MP3 player:

1. The license situation is clearer (Even the default skin is EXPLICITLY
shareable under CC-0)
2. It looks badass-oldskool and should invoke a sense of nostalgia in
MP3-conisseurs like myself.
