iKlax Player

Just like most computer activities, multimedia greatly evolved along with technology. Offline playback still requires a dedicated application for proper audio feedback, but there's a lot to benefit from using the right set of tools. For instance, iKlax Player is sure to come in handy for listening to multitrack songs, but also regular audio files.

The setup package takes you through an effortless process to deploy the application on your computer. Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable is required for runtime, but the installer includes it to save you some effort and time.

You have the option to run the application as soon as setup is over. Truth be told, the visual design is quite appealing, and well-organized to make individuals of all levels of experience quickly get the hang of things. The main window is split into two panels, one providing quick access to playlist elements, while the other holds playback controls. You can also switch to a mini mode.

The application's specialty is to play multitrack files. These are regular files, but with control over all audio channels, such as instruments and voice layers. Don't worry, you're also able to create a playlist of your favorite songs, but you're not able to process audio layers. The playlist type is easily switched.

In terms of file support, the application can process formats like IKLAX, IKX, MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG, AIFF, AIF, and CDA, as well as M3U playlists. These can be saved and sorted according to various criteria.

Playback controls aren't abundant, but let you easily start, stop, skip through content, and navigate through playlist items. You can choose to shuffle playback and repeat already played items for continuous entertainment. The only downside to the entire operation is the lack of hotkey support, which means you need to work with the main window to handle playback and change songs.

In conclusion, iKlax Player is a worthy audio player in case you're looking for something new. Even though there is no support for hotkey commands, the application's core function is to enhance playback experience with multitrack songs so you can select instruments and voice to play in particular audio files, but also acting as a regular audio player.
