Enjoying audio content on your computer can be a pleasant experience, especially when you have suitable means of doing so.

Although there are numerous applications that can help you listen to your favorite tracks, some of them prove to be limited or might not enable you with many customization options. Fortunately, you can turn to Exaile, a lightweight audio manager.

Please note that this application requires Python, Mutagen and GStreamer.com SDK in order to run properly.

This program comes with a simple, yet effective layout that allows you to familiarize yourself with its functions and fully benefit from them quickly.

Despite its minimalistic feel, some of this application's features might be quite challenging to access, as they rely on some plugins that might not be available on your computer.

Using Exaile, you can organize the audio files from your computer, listen to your favorite tracks, edit each item's attributes or tags, rate them or create custom playlists. You can import content by either accessing the Collection tab and clicking the Add Music button or by relying on the Open function from the File menu.

It is possible to organize your content by creating custom playlists and storing the desired items within them. The application can automatically generate smart playlists based on various criteria, such as randomly selecting a number of files or choosing high-rated content.

You can rely on this application if you want to listen to web radio channels, as well. Although it provides you with various preset stations, it is possible to add custom ones, as well. You can click on the Add Station button, specify the name and URL of your favorite online stream so that the application can save your entry.

This program automatically looks up lyrics for the currently playing track and displays them in the dedicated tab.
