GOM Audio

If you are disappointed with all the popular music players or you simply want to try an alternative, you can try GOM Audio.

The main window of GOM Audio is intuitive and user-friendly, albeit a little bit outdated and lackluster.

You can start by selecting the source music you want to listen to, such as individual files, entire folders or even URLs. Alternatively, you can browse the collection of podcasts provided within the application and launch the one you like best (you can even download as MP3 files the podcasts you like the most, so you can enjoy them on and on).

Just as you would expect from any audio player, you can easily start playing the currently selected track, jump to the next or previous one, as well as enable or disable shuffle and repeat songs. You can even tamper with the playback speed by accessing the options from the right-click menu or by using the corresponding hotkeys.

If you are one of those users who prefer minimalist apps, you are bound to appreciate GOM Audio, as you can hide its playlist and the lyrics window, so the only things that is shown is a tiny window where you can play, pause or stop music.

This utility also comes with an integrated equalizer and several presets, along with various effects and controls meant to enhance your overall experience.

GOM Audio also packs a visualizer which can help you enjoy great visual effects when throwing a party or simply chilling on your own.

Moreover, you can shut down your PC or have it enter sleep mode once the current playlist has finished playing, or you can schedule it to power off at a chosen specified time or within a few minutes.

In a nutshell, GOM Audio might not impress you with its appearance, yet its features are highly intuitive and user-friendly so even novices should be able to use them without any difficulty.
