Thin and light audio
With most of your personal MP3
collections spanning several
gigabytes, its all to easy to get lost in all of
that music. Over time, we tend to listen to
only the newest tracks or to those that are
most easily accessible. Some music players
such as Apples iTunes changed this by
allowing your music ? les to be tagged and
called up in a way that enabled easy acces
and more thorough access to your audio
and video collection.
Like its name, the Quintessential Media
Player is a nifty little tool that aims to be
a one-stop audio ? le management and
playback tool. Coming in at a mere 3 MB,
its one of the smallest audio players you
can download. After using this player for a
while, we found it is also one of the most
feature-packed. Besides support for video
standards like MPEG, M2V, M1V, AVI, WMV
and ASF, it does everything from organizin
your digital audio ? les (MP3, WMA, Ogg,
WAV etc) ? les based upon parameters
such as ? le names, artistes, albums, genre,
duration, etc. It allows you to tag audio
files and then sort them according to any
of these parameters. It supports queuing
of tracks, cross fading, creating playlists,
visualizations, etc. You can also rip your
audio CDs to MP3, OGG, WAV or WMA
using various constant and variable bitrate
settings. You can even use it to record
directly from your soundcards line-in
port. The built-in Gracenote functionality
allows the application to pull down album
information from the Internet during
ripping and audio CD playback.
The application is easy to use with
indicative icons and plenty of right-click
functionality. Learning its capabilities is
a snap as most functions are indicatively
labeled. Unfortunately, there are no
real help ? les and even the link to the
online web site results in a page under
construction.
With a good collection of audio and
video management capabilities, this is a
good digital audio playback application.
For: Plenty of audio playback; ripping
and management features; low system
requirements; free.
Against: Lack of help resources.
