![]() ![]() There are other free products such as Winamp (Windows only). Windows comes with Windows Media Player already installed. ![]() Audio players in the form of portable MP3 players like Apple's iPod are extremely advantageous due to their long battery life and capability to be carried practically anywhere.Ĭhoosing and using a computer audio player Another advantage is when the computer audio player has ripping capability you can extract a sample clip from the sound track for internet posting or emailing. The MP3 format is a standard whereby a high rate of compression can be achieved on sound files allowing the ability to store large numbers of them on hard disk. You can also play sound clips in one of the many audio formats found in the information technology industry today. However the capabilities of the computer audio player go beyond just playing traditional music CDs. The main advantage of a computer audio player is that you can play your audio CDs and there is no longer any need to have a separate CD player. This article discusses the local computer audio players.Īdvantages of computer audio player software There is audio player software that is native to the computer's operating system (Windows, Macintosh, and Linux) and there are web-based audio players. FLAC and Apple Lossless work well too.Audio player software is used to play back sound recordings in one of the many formats available for computers today. Try Spider Player yourself, but to get the best quality sound use either a cd or use WAV files to maximize the sound. And I use Winamp, iTunes, MediaMonkey and dBpowerAMP Music Converter to cover the rest. If you want the things it lacks, either find another audio player like Winamp or just use other software that has the features it doesn't while using Spider Player for the sound quality.I myself use this player when sound is all that matters. The only thing it really has in form of plugins are skins and to get them to work is confusing for a novice.If you don't need any of the things it lacks like the 'Now Playing' feature then this is the best Audio Player around for it's sound and equalizer. You can't auto tag any of your audio files either. It doesn't have a 'Now Playing' feature that allows others on your Instant Messenger list to know what your listening to. The downside is it also lacks some features others have. Lady GaGa just set the equalizer on 'dance'. Just adjust the equalizer to 'metal' and you will get the sound you prefer. ![]() Say your listening to Three Days Grace and want it to sound more like the sound it should. The best feature besides the quality of sound itself, is the equalizer which is present for certain types of music. It also has the ability to rip cds, converter audio files as well as being able to play almost every type of audio file around. Spider Player is the best sounding audio player around. Spider Player is one of the best Mp3 players I've tried outside of Winamp although it lacks the plugins of the former.Īltogether, Spider Player is an excellent package which now offers all the features of the Pro version for free.įixed:Converting feature preview didn't work in the FREE version ofSpider Player, now it's possible to convert one track at a time againOther:"Spider Player Basic" renamed to "Spider Player FREE" Changesįixed:Converting feature preview didn't work in the FREE version ofSpider Player, now it's possible to convert one track at a time againOther:"Spider Player Basic" renamed to "Spider Player FREE" Once minimized, the player also sits neatly in your system tray so it's well integrated into your OS. ![]() One nice added little extra that Spider Player also has a built-in ID3 tag editor and CD ripper that can burn in MP3, WAV, OGG and WMA formats. There's also a pitchshifter, echo and reverb bar to play with. To control playback in Spider Player, you can simply drag and drop the status bar and it responds very quickly. But you can split these up as you like and place them in various parts of your desktop for easy access. For example, when you open it, the main playback window, equalizer and playlist are all joined together. As with Winamp, I like the fact that you can also divide-up the player as you like. The look is obviously a key part for the developers and they've even included a "tuning" bar in Spider Player's skin which allows you to change the tone of it according to the mood you are in. ![]()
