Xenorate

Xenorate is a software application which provides a simple means of listening to songs, viewing movies and creating playlists, with just a click of the button.

The installation process does not offer to download any third-party products, it is over in a jiffy, and it bring you to a minimal and pretty familiar interface. It consists of a few playback buttons (pause, stop, next, previous etc.), a pane to display all uploaded items and another one which displays the time since you started playing a track and its name. It is suitable to all types of users, including those with little to no previous experience with computers.

This software tool supports a very long list of formats, including DVDs and CDs, WAV, AU, AVI, OGG, MOV, M2TS, MP3, MP4, FLV, DAT, MKV, APE, MPG, MID and 3GP. It is possible to upload one or several items at a time, as well as entire folders with the help of an incorporated file browser, and the “drag and drop” function.

An equalizer is available, along with a few already built profiles. Aside from that, you can adjust the volume and balance from the main window, toggle mute and enable or disable a random playing mode. File information can be brought up, and you can input or edit ID3 tags, and save playlists to the hard drive, in a XPL format.

To sum up, Xenorate is a pretty efficient piece of software when it comes to playing audio and video files. The system’s performance is not going to be hampered in any way, all tasks are performed quite fast, the interface is friendly to all user categories and our tests did not pick up on any errors or crashes. Nevertheless, you should know this media player lacks some options that other similar products enclose.
