This topic about a computer audio player appears to fail WP:N. Source searches are providing tangential coverage rather than significant coverage. This one source found may be borderline regarding its depth of coverage. Others, such as, , are providing only passing mentions or are sources that may not be considered reliable for Wikipedia's purposes, (e.g. , which is a user post).

 * Delete As with the nom, I found a number of single paragraphs discussing mp3blaster in independent sources, but nothing in depth. Most claim the player was popular at the time. There are two Linux Journal articles (a reliable source), and, that mention the player, but are behind a paywall, so I cannot check depth. As it stands now, this player fails general WP:GNG and software WP:NSOFTWARE notability guidelines and cannot survive as a standalone article. But in my opinion, there are sufficient independent sources to justify a one sentence mention in the list at List of Linux audio software. --Mark viking (talk) 12:12, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete It was popular as a command-line player a lot of time ago; nowadays is surpassed by other well known console tools like Cmus or similar. Software development seems to have stopped as well (last release is from 2009), but I agree with user User:Mark viking to merge mp3blaster into List of Linux audio software with a one sentence mention.
