7 best audio players

6.iTunes

Multifunctional "machine" from Apple. There is everything your heart desires. But it weighs a lot and is focused on buying music via the Internet. Maybe that's why at first it did not receive mass popularity in Russia, due to our universal love for freebies.

You can download iTunes for free from the official website www.apple.com

5. Foobar2000

Simple, nondescript interface, no bells and whistles. It weighs a little, does not load the system (although in our computer age, it is problematic to load the system with an audio player), everything is clear and simple. The sound is very decent. Player reading flac, wav, ogg, mp3. Many prefer it because of its simplicity.

4. KMPlayer

Player from Korean manufacturers. Easy to use and settings. There is nothing superfluous. Rather, it does not have a lot of things that are in the same Aimp or Winamp, but it has a big plus - an excellent sound. At least after getting to know him, I stopped using Winamp altogether.

You can download it from the Russian-language developer site thekmplayer.ru or from here www.kmpmedia.net

2 and 3. Winamp & Aimp

The second and third places in my rating were shared by Winamp and Aimp. Some people prefer one, some the other. Their parameters are approximately the same, here, as they say, a matter of taste. Excellent players flac, mp3, wav, ogg and many others. In fact, there is nothing innovative in either one or the other. And at the moment they have a lot of analogues, which simply cannot yet compete with these eminent brands. It's kind of a classic of the genre.But in spite of everything, Winamp and Aimp remain one of the best among audio players. For this 2nd and 3rd place.

You can download from their sites www.winamp.com and www.aimp.ru

1.JetAudio


He is the one who gets the lead. Why? Well, because it has everything you need to listen to music: it supports all formats, allows you to use many real-time audio effects, convert audio to different formats, you can record and edit audio. It has karaoke, radio, an equalizer (of course) and in general a lot of other things, you can’t list everything. That is, it is already more than just a player with an equalizer. This is already a professional music player and it will be difficult for beginners to figure it out at first, due to the many settings and all sorts of functions. Official website www.jetaudio.com

P.S. I would also like to note Steinberg MyMp3 pro. Despite the fact that work on updating it has not been carried out for a long time (since 2003, if I'm not mistaken), many people continue to use it and consider it the best player for music. And I am one of them. Why? Because the sound is good. It was developed and released by the craftsmen from Steinberg - the leader among programs for professional recording (Cubase, Nuendo, WaveLab). In short, it was designed for professionals.
