Widget Media Player

Media players are always good to have around as you never know when you want to listen to a song. Widget Media Player is a nice tool that is quite light on the computer’s resources.

The app has a simple interface that doesn’t take much desktop space. It has a nice design that lets you compact the frame at any time.

The program immediately displays the songs in the media library. Other files can either be moved to the location or loaded into the app by dragging and dropping them into the interface.

The player comes with several buttons to help you listen to the tracks. There are buttons for play/pause, stop, next and previous, as well as some that allow you to repeat and shuffle the playlist.

A mute button is present as well, while the volume can be controlled with the help of a slider. The “i” button on the frame provides details regarding the active track and the playlist. There is also a search bar that you can use to locate a certain file.

The app supports several file formats, such as WMA, MP3, CDA and ASK. This means that you can add audio tracks, radio stations or even folders containing valid media items.

The bottom line is that Widget Media Player is a nice utility that can come in handy. Inexperienced users should find it easy to figure out. The program requires Yahoo! Widget Engine to function.
