Fun With Audio Players

***PLEASE SEE – Fun With Audio Players – 2015***

“Everyone talks about rock these days; the problem is they forget about the roll.” Keith Richards

The last several years whenever anyone brings up which audio player software to use, the focus seems to be on low resource usage.
I’m guilty of it too.
I’ve been getting back into having a little fun listening to music on the computer.
I thought I would post an article on this topic. This article is really a collection of screen shots and links.
Hopefully you’ll see something you like and check out some of the links.
For those new to this topic. Many audio players have two things you can do to the interface: skin it, and add a plugin.
Skins change the look of the interface. Plugins can add sound and visual enhancements.
Some of the screen shots are large so I’ve thumbnailed them. Click on the small pic for a larger one.

Load up your current audio player with your favorite tunes, put on your rock-n-roll shoes, grab an adult beverage and check out the screen shots.

The order is kinda by popularity, except my 2 favorites are last.

1 – Windows Media Player 12
WMP 12? Yup, you can skin it. WMP 12 skins here, other WMP versions here.
