Waveform Music Player

Good music is good music, but a good music player can arguably make the entire listening experience a touch more exciting — just enough to make it more worthwhile. It’s no surprise that many users are very attentive to a streaming service’s interface and user experience before subscribing, and it’s really no different with local music players.

Waveform Music Player is a new music player whose goal is to accommodate your audio library, however big or small, so that you can enjoy your favorite tunes in peace. Aside from a welcoming user interface, it also features some tools to help you organize your library and make everything look a bit nicer.

The design may seem somewhat familiar, especially if you’ve used the Media Player app Microsoft bundled with your Windows installation. Either way, the accommodation process should be fairly quick, helped by the fact that the tool will automatically scan you computer to populate your audio library.

In that sense, I found it a bit of a missed opportunity that you cannot really designate the folders where you typically save your audio files, so you’ll just have to rely on the software to find them for you, which won’t always be the best option.

As you populate your music library, it’s never a bad idea to create playlists and organize your tracks. The options in that sense should be good enough, and you also get a metadata editor that unfortunately only seems to work for albums.

iPhone support is perhaps the highlight feature of the software, as evidenced by the developer’s page. In short, it will enable users to connect their iOS devices and play any local music stored therein.

To add to that, this also enables you to copy music between your computer and iOS device. When copying music, note that you can set up folder and file name structures for easier organization.

Missing artwork can be automatically downloaded so that your library can look tidier. This includes artist and album artworks specifically.

Waveform Music Player is an app that should get the job done for a more general audience. The interface is clean and modern, and I did not encounter any problems during my testing.
