Relaxing Sounds Software

Nowadays, those who live in busy cities often find themselves having to block out distracting noises, and others simply cannot concentrate without listening to their favorite music or other calming sounds.

Relaxing Sounds Software is a fairly simple utility that, true to its name, provides you with a collection of nature-themed audio tracks that you can listen to while working or relaxing. It includes a scheduling function and is very easy to use, but it features an outdated interface.

The application lets you choose from multiple nature-themed sounds, such as recordings of an aquarium, forest, ocean, river, thunderstorm or waterfall. The audio quality is, for the most part, more than adequate, although a couple of the MP3 files fall short in this regard.

The tracks are not repetitive, as most are at least a minute in length, while one even goes past the eight-minute mark.

Once you have selected the recording you wish to listen to, you only need to press the Turn On button and set the audio volume to the right value. Sadly, though, it is not possible to play multiple tracks at once and create personalized mixes.

An interesting feature offered by Relaxing Sounds Software is its ability to start or stop playback automatically based on a user-defined schedule. The program can also be sent to the system tray, so you can have it run in the background at all times without it getting in your way.

While this aspect may not be too important because the program is likely to be minimized to the system tray at all times, the user interface is very outdated.

To conclude, Relaxing Sounds Software is a straightforward application that puts a number of ambient nature-themed sounds at your disposal, which can help you relax and work more efficiently. It features a rather outdated interface, however, which is something to consider if looks are a deciding factor when looking for new software.
