Mini MP3

Mini MP3 is a small audio player that can be controlled via the system tray. It can be deployed on all Windows versions out there.

You can drop the utility on USB flash drives or other portable devices and carry it with you all the time. Plus, you may run it without being an administrator.

It is important to mention that it does not leave entries in your Windows registry and create other setup files so you may get rid of it by deleting the files that you have downloaded from the Internet.

Gaining access to the program’s GUI can be done by right-clicking on the executable file because you do not have to follow the steps included in an installation process.

Mini MP3 can be found sitting quietly in the system tray without disturbing your work with popup notifications or other types of messages. It can be controlled only via the system tray by right-clicking on its icon.

You may import MP3, MIDI, WAV, and audio CDs. Some video formats are also supported, such as AVI and MPEG. You may create a playlist with the desired files and check out its contents in a dedicated panel.

What’s more, you are allowed to clear the items stored in a playlist, import new files by dragging and dropping them directly in the playlist panel, and import/export playlist data from/to MM3 file format.

Other notable configuration settings worth being mentioned enable you to load the application at Windows startup, play or stop the current selection, go to the next or previous item in the playlist, as well as loop the current song.

Tests have pointed out that Mini MP3 is not quite responsive when it comes to playing files. It did not detect all audio files correctly and could not play them. It has not been updated for a long time so you may bump into compatibility issues on newer operating systems, like Windows 8.1 and 10.

The bottom line is that Mini MP3 comes packed with several basic features for helping you listen to songs and play clips, and is suitable especially for less experienced users.
