Softpedia Review

Multistream ASIO Player is a lightweight MP3 player designed specifically for helping you play audio files in a clutter-free interface. It plays music via ASIO and supports all types of sound cards via DirectSound.

You can take advantage that the tool is portable and drop it on USB flash drives. You can run it by simply opening the executable file. Getting rid of it implies on the deletion of the files that you have downloaded from the Internet.

The tool reveals a plain user interface that hides a few configuration settings under the hood. You cannot access a help manual but the dedicated parameters are intuitive so you are not going to invest a lot of time and effort into the entire tweaking process.

Audio files and playlists can be imported in the working environment using the built-in browse button (you cannot rely on the drag-and-drop support).

Multistream ASIO Player gives you the possibility to seek for a position in the audio streams, play songs in a random order, go to the previous or next file in the list, as well as play, pause or stop the current audio selection.

What’s more, you are allowed to adjust the volume, select the preferred driver, pick the device, adjust the sound buffer size samples, as well as apply fade out effects. The audio player eats up minimal system resources, so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered.

The application offers support for an integrated test signal generator that allows you to examine left and right channels independently with either sweep or sine waves. This way, you can easily calibrate your musical instruments.

All things considered, Multistream ASIO Player comes with support for several handy audio features for playing songs, and is suitable especially for less experienced users. On the downside, it hasn’t been updated for a long time, so you can make use of its capabilities especially if you deploy it on older operating systems.

What's new in Multistream ASIO Player 3.00:

This is a big update! This version got a new source engine, featuring a new mp3 parser/decoder and interpolator, and the two new options described in the readme that were requested by a rock band in Australia. They use the MStream Player to play their material before the show begins and during the intermission. The MStream Player has been getting ever more use by professionals, I have discovered, and this has motivated me to make it a more professional application.
I was able to remove a substantial amount of old, over-bloated code with this update and can now dream of adding even more new options when I get the time. The previous version, I discovered to my embarassment, was not seeking properly on material with sample rates other than 44,100. This new source engine corrects that and provides precision seeking at any sample rate. This new version finally gave up on the old configuration files and went to using the registry instead. Config files just don't cut it when starting the app up from a location other than its home directory. If you are upgrading from a previous version, just drop the new version into the same folder with the old, overwriting whatever is there. Your current configuration will be read in from the old configuration files and recorded in the registry.
