One of the main programs installed on almost any home computer is, of course, music players. It is difficult to imagine a modern computer that will not have tools and tools that play mp3 audio files.

In this article we will look at the most popular ones, touch on the pros and cons, and briefly summarize.

Aimp

A relatively new music player that immediately gained great popularity among users.

Below we list the main features:

• A huge number of supported audio/video file formats: *.CDA, *.AAC, *.AC3, *.APE, *.DTS, *.FLAC, *.IT, *.MIDI, *.MO3, *.MOD, * .M4A, *.M4B, *.MP1, *.MP2, *.MP3,
  *.MPC, *.MTM, *.OFR, *.OGG, *.OPUS, *.RMI, *.S3M, *.SPX, *.TAK, *.TTA, *.UMX, *.WAV, *. WMA, *.WV, *.XM.

• Equalizer + customized modes for the most popular genres of music: pop, techno, rap, rock, etc.
• Supports multiple playlists.
• Fast operating speed.
• Convenient multi-user mode.
• Several languages, including Russian.
• Setting up and supporting hot keys.
• Convenient search through open playlists.
• Create bookmarks and much more.

WinAmp

The legendary program is probably included in all best ratings and is installed on every second home PC.

Main features:

• Supports a huge number of audio and video files.
• A library of your files on your computer.
• Convenient search for audio files.
• Equalizer, bookmarks, playlists.
• Supports numerous modules.
• Hotkeys, etc.

Among the shortcomings, we can highlight (especially in the latest versions) freezes and brakes, which periodically occur on some PCs. However, this often happens due to the fault of the users themselves: they install various covers, visual images, plug-ins that significantly load the system.

Foobar 2000

An excellent and fast player that will work on all the most popular Windows operating systems: 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 7, 8.

The most pleasing thing is that it is designed in a minimalist style, while at the same time having great functionality. Here you will find lists with playlists, support for a large number of music file formats, a convenient tag editor, and low resource consumption! This is perhaps one of the best qualities: after the gluttony of WinAmp with its brakes, this program turns everything upside down!

Another thing worth mentioning is that many players don't support the DVD Audio format, but Foobar does a great job with it!

Also, more and more disk images in lossless format are appearing on the Internet, which Foobar 2000 opens without installing any add-ons or plugins!

XMplay

Audio player with a lot of different functions. Works well with all common multimedia files: OGG, MP3, MP2, MP1, WMA, WAV, MO3. There is good support for playlists created even in other programs!

The player also has support for various skins: you can download some of them on the developer’s website. The software can be customized as you please - it can become unrecognizable!

What’s important: XMplay neatly integrates into the Explorer context menu, making it easy and quick to launch any tracks you want.

Among the disadvantages, one can highlight the high demands on resources if the tool is heavily loaded with various skins and add-ons. Otherwise, it’s a good player that will appeal to a good half of users. By the way, it is most popular in the Western market, in Russia, everyone is used to using other programs.

jetAudio Basic

At first glance, the program seemed too cumbersome (38MB, versus 3MB for Foobar). But the number of possibilities that the player provides simply amazes the unprepared user...

Here you have a library with support for searching by any field of a music file, an equalizer, support for a huge number of formats, ratings and ratings for files, etc.

It is recommended to install such a monster for big music fans, or for those who lack the standard capabilities of smaller programs. As a last resort, if the reproduced sound in other players does not suit you, try installing jetAudio Basic, perhaps by applying a bunch of filters and smoothers you will achieve an excellent result!

Foobnix

This music player is not as famous as the previous ones, but it has several undeniable advantages.

Firstly, support for CUE, secondly, support for converting a file from one format to another: mp3, ogg, mp2, ac3, m4a, wav! Thirdly, you can find and download music online!

Well, there’s no need to talk about the standard set like an equalizer, hotkeys, CD covers and other information. Now this is available in all self-respecting players.

By the way, this program can be integrated with the VKontakte social network, and you can download music from there and watch friends’ music.

Windows Media

Built into the operating system

A well-known player about which it was impossible not to say a few words. Many people dislike it for its bulkiness and clumsiness. Also, its early versions could not be called convenient, which is precisely why other instruments developed.

Currently, Windows Media allows you to play all popular audio and video file formats. You can burn a disc of the songs you like, or vice versa, copy it to your hard drive.

The player is a kind of combine - ready to solve the most popular problems. If you don’t listen to music very often, perhaps you don’t need third-party programs for listening to music, will Windows Media be enough?

STP

A very small program, but one that could not be ignored! The main advantages of this player: high speed, works minimized in the taskbar and does not distract you, customize hot keys (you can switch the track while in any application or game).

Also, like many other players of this kind, there is an equalizer, lists, and playlists. By the way, you can also edit tags using hotkeys! In general, one of the best programs for lovers of minimalism and switching audio files by pressing some two buttons! Mainly focused on supporting mp3 files.

Here I tried to describe in detail the advantages and disadvantages of popular players. It's up to you to decide which one to use! Good luck!

Flac player (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is basically a format for audio coding. It is an open source. This format has the ability to compress the audio without much affecting the quality. If you were to compress the audio file, the Flac would normally let you shrink the file size to half of the original size. So if you are thinking that it is similar to WinZip, then you are correct. But, as Flac happens to be specially made to take care of audio files, it will do better than WinZip in the sound domain.

So this compressing wouldn’t compromise with the quality. As this is open-source, new versions keep on getting released from time to time, and a lot of improvement can be seen. There are some fine players that are available for Flac on Windows Operating system.

So all the Audiophiles, be geared up to find the best flac media players available for the Windows Operating System.

There was already an article on Trashbox with a selection of the best music players on Android, but 3 years will soon pass since its publication, so it’s time to update this topic. In this article you will find the most convenient, beautiful and functional applications for listening to music on Android. Read more under the cut.

We tested many different music players for Android and collected the best of them. This article presents applications that have similar functionality, but in some ways differ from each other - in design or capabilities. However, each of these programs can be fully used to listen to music on Android.

Music player Stellio comes from Belarus. And oddly enough, in the CIS they were able to create a very good application for listening to music on smartphones, tablets and even smart watches with Android Wear. Stellio has everything you need to a simple user, and to the hardened music lover:

One of the “tricks” of Stellio is changing the color scheme of the interface to match the style of the album cover. That is why the chameleon became the symbol of the program. And all this is flavored with an extensive settings menu, where you can customize almost any function for yourself.

Stellio widget

Poweramp for Android is the ArchLinux of music players - it's both powerful and easy to use. The program has an original archaic interface, which has few additional menus. The main actions take place on the main screen, where you can switch between albums and tracks by swiping. The main navigation takes place in a special menu, where you can view your library by folders or by already compiled categories.

There is a good equalizer with presets for every taste, as well as a tool for adjusting tone and volume. The settings menu is where PowerAMP comes into its own. Here you can distort the interface as soon as your heart desires or play with sound effects. There is a function for loading album covers from Internet services. You can also set up scrobbling on Last.fm. Like Stellio, the PowerAMP player pleased me with its good recognition of FLAC rips with CUE.

PowerAMP widget

The desktop widget is standard. PowerAMP also has support for custom interface skins. They are created both by the developers themselves and by a huge community. IN Google Play you can find a large number of these skins. The most beautiful ones are in HD quality. They are in a separate category.

BlackPlayer is an application with a very nice interface in Windows style Phone. Navigation in this player is done with vertical gestures to the right and left. The standard black color scheme makes the app look very stylish. All this with smooth and beautiful animations. One of the interesting features in BlackPlayer is loading the biographies of performers and groups. Information about them is downloaded from Last.fm, so descriptions are often translated into Russian. So small but useful features please.

The equalizer is not the coolest, but it’s fine for adjusting the sound for any headphones. You can also apply sound effects. In the settings you can find ample opportunities for editing the interface - you can even apply your own font. Cover downloading and scrobbling are also available. BlackPlayer's desktop widget is not the coolest - just a big “plate” with three buttons. It could have been better. I also managed to discover an important drawback - the player could not properly recognize an uncut FLAC recording with a CUE playlist.

BlackPlayer widget

But it has everything the average user needs:

• Simple and nice interface.
• Supports all popular and other formats: ape, mp3, wav, ogg, aac, flac, mp4, m4a, wv and others.
• Good equalizer with presets.
• Support for Internet radio and CUE playlists in uncut FLAC.

Widget for desktop and lock screen.

Dark and light interface themes.

Phonograph is a young player, which was created under the impression of a new “material” design at the time of its release. The program interface is designed in a minimalist style with bright, but not offensive, elements. The main navigation occurs in four tabs: songs, albums, artists and playlists. In terms of functions and capabilities, Phonograph is even more ascetic than AIMP, but it is also free.

Phonograph doesn't even have its own equalizer, but it does support external ones. That is, you can download a third-party equalizer from Android and enable it in the player. Also among the shortcomings is the lack of support for uncut FLAC rips with CUE playlists. You can listen to them, but they are not displayed as a playlist and their tags are not recognized.

Phonograph widget

Among the strengths of Phonograph: convenient and attractive interface with customizability, ease of use, free.

Along with Phonograph, it is worth noting the Shuttle player, which is very similar in its interface concept and set of functions. These are two very similar apps, but Shuttle has more features.

JetAudio is another mobile player that has moved to Android from computers. On Windows, this program was famous primarily for its powerful set of capabilities in terms of customizing the interface and sound. The developers tried to transfer all these features to the mobile JetAudio. The application has a built-in ten-band equalizer (even more in the paid version) with many presets. For those who like to mock the sound, several modules with effects are provided. In general, JetAudio will help you achieve more or less decent sound even on the worst headphones.

To make watching movies or listening to music on your computer truly comfortable, you need to download a truly high-quality player. Below is a selection of really cool players for Windows that you should definitely try.

One of the most convenient, functional and beautiful music players today is AIMP. The external resemblance to WinAmp allowed users to quickly get used to and love this program. Over the years, the functionality of the player has grown and today it is one of the most complete sets of tools for music lovers, who have something to boast about over their competitors.

There are a great many audio, video and media players in the world, which largely duplicate each other’s functionality and often differ only in design. But there are still products that have their own “zest”, thanks to which this or that player wins over the public. AVS Media Player is one of the players that has its own characteristics; it is a very good media player with a large number of settings and wide capabilities. It allows you to view a huge number of video formats (avi, wmv, mpeg, Video CD, dvd, 3gp and many others), audio (mp3, flac, aif, cda), images (jpeg, png, pcx, psd).

Today you can find a huge variety of different players on the Internet, both for playing streaming and non-streaming video/audio. There are many combinations of both player functions and codecs, some better, some worse. So what should you choose? Use standard system codecs? Or maybe it would be easier to install a collection of codecs, something like the K-Lite mega pack? Let's figure it out.

SoundByte is a player for playing music from Internet services SoundCloud and Fanburst. It not only allows you to listen to a variety of music, but do it comfortably, because the player is incredibly convenient and easy to use.

Surely many have used the universal player that comes with Microsoft Windows(after the release of Windows 8 it was no longer included with the system). And probably many have noticed that it is quite functional, can do a lot of things, but at the same time it is quite slow and does not reproduce all formats. If this is your situation, I recommend trying the ultra-fast Media Player Classic Home Cinema. This is a free audio and video player that is characterized by very high speed, simple interface, and support for all key codecs out of the box.

A free, minimalistic music player called Stoffi Music Player has recently been updated to version 1.32.169.8631. This player is notable because it looks very similar to a Windows Explorer window and is built into the Windows Media system.

Despite its minimalism, Stoffi Music Player takes up about 70 MB of memory, which may seem indecently large for this level of player. If you look more closely, you will notice that in addition to simply playing music files, this player can...

A huge amount of music is available today on various Internet services. Unfortunately, not everyone knows where to look for them, which results in many resorting to downloading pirated products. The creators of the Freemake Music Box program have come up with a way to combine a lot of free audio and video in one place - in a universal player that allows you to listen to music and watch videos, create playlists with your favorite songs. All information is taken from various publicly available sources and accumulated on your computer. All you need to work with such a player is to write the name of your favorite composition or its author.

Every music lover sooner or later comes to the conclusion that an ordinary player that simply plays music is not enough for him. It would be nice to get a universal aggregator with a powerful equalizer, a bunch of different settings and gadgets. It would be nice if it could be used to completely manage your entire media library - edit data, delete unnecessary compositions, burn collections to discs, and so on. And appearance is not the last thing - a stylish interface will come in handy. “Fantastic”, you say? No! Such a program exists and I am happy to talk about it.

You can put all your music, videos and photos into settings and view them using this tool. Kodi was developed for HTPC (home theater systems based on personal computers), but it can also be used on a regular personal computer.
