HanGok

HanGok is a straightforward and efficient piece of software developed to work as a music player, its support for numerous popular audio formats making it quite useful, and sparing you from having to install additional codecs.

The program experiences a brief and uneventful setup operation, subsequent to which you can launch it and start listening to music immediately.

The main window of HanGok consists of three main components: the player, the equalizer and the playlist, the last two of which can be hidden, while the first can be collapsed, thus reducing the amount of space it occupies.

The application lets you add files either by drag and dropping them, by opening them individually or by loading an entire audio folder in one go. You can use MP3, FLAC, WAV, MOD, APE, CDA, HGL, M3U, PLS, S3M, OGG or WMA files.

The loaded items are displayed in a queue in the ‘Playlist’ component of HanGok, letting you align them randomly, by title or in inverse order. Similarly, you can save the list and load it on a different occasion.

From the ‘Equalizer’ section of the utility, you can choose a rendering music style from the dedicated menu (‘Classical’, ‘Pop’, ‘Rock’, ‘Reggae’, ‘Vocal’, ‘Jazz’, etc), as well as create your own. The ‘Player’ panel lets you adjust the volume, pause, stop or skip songs, while also enabling you to load the URL of an online radio in order to listen to it.

Moreover, HanGok includes a converter that is able to turn MP3 files to WAV format in just a few mouse clicks, requiring you to simply specify the output location and name for the generated song.

HanGok proves to be a useful and easy to understand application that can function as an alternative to your regular audio player. Aside from the several  formats that it supports, it can also render online radios on your PC, without the need to use a web browser.
