Snow Player 1.1

If in need of a small media player that takes but a few of your system’s resources and is ca-pable of playing back audio and video in all the most common formats, you may want to try Snow Player. This free and tiny player comes with its own equalizer, tag editor, CD ripper, image viewer, and audio recording tool, among other useful utilities.

Because of its small size, you can move Snow Player around your screen easily using your mouse and locate it in the least intrusive location, so that you can enjoy listening to your fa-vorite music without the interface taking up useful screen space. For some, however, this tiny interface might be a problem – it’s minute buttons and labels can be difficult to read for certain users, and it demands an extra dose of accuracy when trying to click on the right but-ton with you mouse.

The program’s interface includes all the basic controls you need to play back, pause, and stop your file, as well as a specific button to go to the next track and another one to record new audio with one click. Besides, you’ll find “repeat” and “shuffle” buttons to customize your listening experience. Despite its small size, it is capable of displaying useful info about the active track, such as the elapsed time, the quality (in Hz and kbps), etc., as well as a nice mul-ti-channel peak meter in the background. For the remaining functionality, you need to click on the menu button to open a context menu where you can choose a playlist, a different file or folder, a new skin, your favorite radio stations, etc. more
