Try the basic and you'll love it. But go to the plus version and never use anything else. For 29 dollars its a bargain, won't regret.
I’ve used this for about three years, since JetAudio 4. This player adapts to everything. Haven't found a file it doesn't play, ogg, flac, ape, acc, mp3, mp3pro or real. Also allows you to rip a cd or convert to all the formats at high compression rates and *variable bit rate* for almost all. Real, winamp, vlc player, jukebox, sonique, bs player, foobar or anything else I looked into doesn't support 32 bit sound. Has customizable quick keys (19 different quick keys), easily navigate both audio and music files. When doing homework, using Word, I don't need to find the player to change song, skip ahead or change volume, just use quick keys, no change of flow or interruption from my work. Dock the playlist to the bottom of the screen, automatically disappears, move mouse over, it appears, choose your album, file and has navigation/volume keys. For video files, move mouse to the bottom, player appears, choose the subtitle, size and style in pull down menus. If available can choose audio stream (dubbing), (like mkv or ogm files). Change filter or codec setting. Right click on the screen, on the bottom see filter settings. Can dramatically hear or see changes (ac3, divx, matrix mixing settings and more). Burn CDs. Play DVDs. This has 32 bit sound, at least 5.1 surround sound! Also BBE. Also has lyric viewer, can see lyrics for your cd or mp3 song if supported. I have two sound cards, internal and external, in the mixer menu, can change soundcards instantly. The price tag is nothing compared to what you get. Also usually Cowon will allow you to upgrade from previous version free of charge. I did from version 4 to 5 and from 5 to 6 |
