X-Play

X-Play is a compact and portable piece of software that's capable of playing audio files with the MP3 and WAV format, in a user-friendly environment.

Since installation is not a prerequisite, you can just drop the program files anywhere on the hard drive and run the executable file directly.

Otherwise, you can save X-Play to a USB flash drive or similar storage unit, in order to run it effortlessly on any computer.

An important aspect is that the program does not work with the Windows Registry area or leave files behind on the hard drive after removing it.

The interface of the application is represented by a simple window with an uncomplicated layout, where you can load sound files into the workspace by using only the file browser, since "drag and drop" is not supported.

X-Play provides standard audio player functions, such as pause and stop, navigate back and forth within the track by moving a slider, and adjust the volume level. You can set the background color, transparency level and menu color, as well as add single files or complete folders to a music database, among other options supplied by X-Play.

The program uses a low-to-moderate amount of CPU and system memory, so it shouldn't burden the computer's activity. It has a good response time and performed well during our evaluation, without hanging, crashing or displaying error notifications.

Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful in our attempt to change the interface language. Nevertheless, we must take into account that X-Play has not received updated for a long time.
