Loosely speaking, in software terms, a wrapper is something that provides an alternate interface to another object.
SMPlayer is an advanced multimedia player wrapped around
MPlayer that provides a friendlier and more powerful front end to the underlying application. SMPlayer can play practically anything -- you can watch DVDs and VCDs, stream videos from a URL, or play audio CDs or MP3s.
