Q-player

Even though it may not be the most popular online radio out there, Q-dance Radio is a different service that aims to serve all those who want to listen to some of the harder styles in dance music such as Hardstyle, Hardcore, and Hard Trance.

Of course, being an online radio, it can be accessed from almost all over the globe with the help of any modern web browser. However, if you like the idea of having one less open tab in your browser and you want to enjoy your hardstyle dance sessions in a bit more style, then you will love Q-player.

Created with some of the latest web technologies (the Electron framework, for example), Q-player is a cross-platform app (also available for macOS) that brings all the Q-dance Radio hits in a convenient way directly on your computer’s desktop.

The app is designed to be as elegant and as minimalist as possible, fitting your desktop perfectly regardless of your work. The player automatically opens in the left top corner of your screen, but it can be moved around in order to find a more suitable position.

It displays information such as the name of the song, the artist, and the album cover. As far as functionality is concerned things could not be simpler: hit ALT+P in order to start or pause the playback, and ALT+M in order to mute or unmute the player, and that’s about it. Another somewhat debatable feature of the app is represented by the fact that it always stay on top of other windows.

At this point, one could argue that even though this is designed to be a simple player for an online radio, it could do with a few more features. For example, there’s the chance that some users might find the fact that it is “always on top” a bit annoying.

However, at the end of the day, Q-player is a simple and stylish Q-dance Radio player that works well, and will surely appeal to all those who are willing to look past its lack of more advanced features and enjoy its sheer minimalism.
