Desktop Album Display

There’s probably a method by which you relax at the end of a long day’s work, and it might just involve listening to music. You can use various specialized media players in this regard for a lot of comfort and neat audio feedback, but when it comes to style, Desktop Album Display also shows the cover of the playing song, and offers control over the players you use.

The first time you run the application, a wizard-driven operation guides you through a few steps needed to configure general audio and album cover options for more comfort once you get started. What’s more, you also need to link the audio player of choice, with the application letting you select from a list of popular items like Winamp, iTunes, Windows Media Player, and more.

Once everything is configured, the album cover of the created playlist shows up on the desktop. It changes accordingly while songs are playing. More than that, you can call up the context menu on the album cover to change tracks or access the list of songs for manual selection of songs.

Album covers are usually grabbed from a location of choice, but an active Internet connection makes it possible for the application to look online, given that song tags are properly fitted. The album location can be opened from here, and even create a queue for a comfortable playback on the long run.

There’s also a tray icon which provides access to general functions. Sadly, there’s no hotkey support, but management of songs can also be done through the linked audio player. Needless to say that you can modify the list of albums later on with little effort.

Bottom line is that Desktop Album Display offers neat support for audio players by letting you organize different albums in playlists, while offering control over the media player you use to enjoy all of your favorite songs.
