Twister Music Player

For some of us, listening to music in the background while performing other, more demanding activities, is a routine, so the need for a capable media player that can provide you with as many features as possible is entirely motivated.

Twister Music Player is a Java-dependent piece of software that tries to exploit this particular niche, granting you some time-saving capabilities, since the app is not meant to stop on the edge of traditional functionality.

First things first, as far as the program’s appearance is concerned, the main window is split into three main areas that integrate with one another pretty well and should help you reach all the app’s functions without having to navigate through any obscure menus.

Moreover, clicking “Settings” and then “Graphics” will let you customize the visual experience you get when using this music player. You can thus choose a background picture of your own, and you may also have a say as far as several other elements are concerned, such as text, border, button, and button text colors.

But now let’s get to the practical side of the things. What this program claims to do is let you enjoy not only audio content but also videos that you get to watch right at the bottom of the main window. Full-screen mode is supported, but we have experienced some lag when switching it on and off.

Nevertheless, without being anything highbrow, the app bundles a history of all the open files, which is separate from the playlist, and there is also a section where you can have a look at the lyrics to the songs you are listening to.

As for playlists, there is not much there, but you can still sort songs using several criteria, such as name, artist, and length. What’s more, there are four modes you can try out, namely repeat, continuous, random, and intelligent, which should nicely frame your listening experience.

If you want to navigate the web while enjoying your favorite music without toggling different programs, you can also do that, since there is an incorporated browser with basic functionality.

Still, we noticed that there is one issue with the saving of playlists since trying to cancel the process automatically closes the entire app.

Listening to radio stations and watching YouTube are possible, even though the latter is affected by an issue that even the developers themselves admit to. And indeed, in our tests, this part of the program did not seem to meet expectations, and we were either met with no reaction whatsoever or we were suggested to check our Internet connection or other tricks that did not solve the problem.

Without being anything impressive or pretending to be the ultimate app of its kind, Twister Music Player is a tool that can help you enjoy music, video, and radio in an undemanding environment while also coming with some nice additions such as an integrated browser and YouTube playlists.
