DualPlayer

Analyzing audio files doesn’t necessarily have to involve complex processing programs, and you might just need to simply listen to them. Relying on a regular audio player can be rather inconvenient in this regard. As such, DualPlayer comes with the means to help you simultaneously play different audio files.

Setup is required to make the application work, and you’re offered to have it launched right afterwards. The window instantly shows up, displaying a custom-made interface, which is quite intuitive at a first glance. Regardless of your experience, getting acquainted to the set of features is a walk in the park.

As the name suggests, the core function of the application is to help you play different audio files simultaneously, just in case you want to analyze inconsistencies and other possible differences. A couple of browse fields need to be filled with items of interest, and you’re able to load items under formats like WAV and MP3.

Once loaded, each section displays the corresponding details, such as file path and name. The total play time of each file is also visible. Each section comes with playback controls to play and pause, as well as to remove a selected item. Sadly, there’s no option to start both files at the same time, so synchronization isn’t really accurate.

Files you load need to be different. Unfortunately, there’s only one progress slider, which updates based on item on which the last action is taken. You’re free to move the slider, but it gets difficult and frustrating to navigate through content.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that DualPlayer comes with good intentions in an attempt to help you analyze a couple of audio files by simply listening to them. However, there’s quite an inconsistency between the playback controls, which can easily become frustrating.
