Even if this is an application designed for managing desktop, date and time features, you will find in it an integrated MP3 player. It has just the basic playback functions, nonetheless you will find a playlist creator and editor you can use to manage your music.

With Desktop Calendar XP you can also set customizable alarms to be reminded of important events and the software comes with a talking buddy.
