![]() ![]() The interface is incredibly basic and intuitive, with large titles and obvious controls. Just tell Dopamine where your music is and the app will take care of the rest. ![]() The download is fast, setup is painless, and updates are all automatic. Dopamineĭopamine is an extra-simple music player that is built to be easy to use. There are also a number of notable UI options, including options to customize your own 4K skin. Need to convert audio? No problem - Aimp can handle that too, as well as provide editing options for all your audio tags and scheduling options for setting timers or shutdown times if you like mixing music and sleep. ![]() In addition to support for an array of formats (including DirectSound and SIO for output), the software also includes internet radio support, a sound engine with an 18-band equalizer, and smart playlist capabilities. AimpĪimp’s continuous updates have yielded an impressive, clean interface for music lovers who prefer to get down to business. When you consider party mode, the visualizer, and the exported audio file reports, it’s hard to see why you would pay for a music manager when MediaMonkey exists. The syncing and recording capabilities are great for amateur musicians as well. ![]() We’re impressed by the playlist tools, which makes playlists easy to create or automatically spawn via Auto DJ. It automatically identifies tracks, syncs, or fixes tags, and it also looks up related information, which is all great for getting an old collection of music back in order. It supports a whopping 100,000 file and playlist types, while also making it easy to tag and organize your files. Though it lacks Last.fm synchronization, MediaMonkey is compatible with podcasts and audiobooks and can be set up to download your favorite podcasts for you. MediaMonkey is similar to MusicBee and boasts many of the same features. Plus, all components and download options are easily available on the site, and the software continues to be updated to this day. The program also includes options for gapless playback, ReplayGain, and ripping audio and converting it. There are also extensive tagging abilities and full support for keyboard shortcuts, which makes Foobar2000 a great piece of software for managing more complex lists of audio files. You can customize its look however you want, and play anything from MP3s and WMA to Musepack, Speex, and even rarer formats with the right plug-ins. An open-source music player project, it has managed to persist for years and remains not only usable but one of the best free music players for Windows 10 on the scene.ĭon’t let the basic interface fool you into thinking this isn’t worth your time. I immediately get 100% CPU Usage, if i turn it on, but on the Intel machines, it may not be an issue anymore.Foobar2000 has a remarkable underdog story. The drawback is, it uses quite a lot of CPU for this. All of them come in 3 different Versions: Free, Gold for 20$ and Platinum for 30$, and have tons of options to play with if you are willing to invest the money.Īn interesting (Free)App is iVisualize, which uses any QuartzComposition you have as an visualizer in iTunes. Other graphic Visualizers are WhiteCap, G-Force and SoftSkies. If you prefer not to pay you have to live with an overlay every 30 seconds, but besides that it works without limitations. It costs 8$, but for that you get a huge amount of styles to choose from. Not just one, but like 30 Visualizers is Eyephedrine. On to the graphical powertoys, first to mention is Magnetosphere, which flows really nice, but hasnt any options to play with. It misses the graphical toys, but looks very elegant with its CoverArt and is one of the few that can actually proper display the lyrics of the playing song.Ĭover Version does almost the same as JewelCase, but in a less satisfying way. The LED Spectrum Analyzer is what it says, a LED spectrum analyzer and also a sleek, analogue VU-Meter. Misses a little bit of polish, but besides that looks good. Next is GasLight, also very simple, with many buttons and sliders to play with and little CPU Usage. Pictures cant do it justice, but you get the idea. CPU Usage is about 50% on my three year old G4.Īnother one is called Fountain Music, which simply renders a colorful fountain of sparkling particels. The best one in this collection is in my opinion “Plasma”, because it renders the frequenceband quite nice and does look very gentle. The vTunes Package, which contains 3 different Visualizers: Skyscaper, Medusa and Plasma. ![]()
