JetAudio 8.1.11.22010

Overview

This is considered one of the best free softwares available for not only audio playing but burning CDs, ripping MP3’s and audio file converting into different formats. It also boasts an easy to use broadcasting system too.

Installation

The file size is under 38MB so installation time is reasonably average for most machines. JetAudio includes JetCast, which allows you to create the broadcasting system. Ensure you pay attention when installing the software as you may have other audio software set as your default, JetAudio will override this and set itself as default. This is fine if you wish to have it as your default video and audio player.

Interface

With a sleek looking interface that resembles an equalizer, JetAudio is certainly eye-catching. There are lots of personal customizations that you can undertake. It has a standard amount of sound effects you can use to create music mixes of choice. JetAudio also includes a timer and alarm, which is a really nifty feature that is missed off the list of functions by many media software. JetAudio software not only converts music files but also video files too. Delivering excellently clean sound and clear video playback are just the tip of the iceberg.

Pros

The playlist can be found in a toolbar which you can hide until you need to look at it. It simply shows up by pointing the mouse. Media is opened very quickly and sound is crystal clear. Quick key facility that you can customize means you can operate it to play your favorites without breaking away from your regular workload. Excellent list of features as you would expect including speed control, synchronized lyric and song with subtitles ability, which is great for karaoke. The ability to convert just about any kind of audio or video file is truly dazzling and you can arrange all your files in the easy to use library.

Cons

Just like using anything for the first time it may look a little daunting so if you are not familiar with media interfaces, it may be a little challenge to start, but in no time at all that experimentation will pay dividends. It can be a little difficult to search for a specific song as these appear to be categorized by the artist. Perhaps that is something that will be changed in future versions.

Alternatives

There are always alternative software products available for any products but none that really come close for such a great media player. JetAudio seem to have thought of just about everything. You could look at Winamp or Windows Media Player as an alternative but I am pretty sure you will find them inferior to JetAudio, as they do not support the extensive range of formats that JetAudio has.

Conclusion

If you want more from your media player than just playing MP3s then JetAudio is for you. JetAudio has the best features available for a media software such as this and there is also the opportunity to upgrade at a fractional price for even more features. Simply put, JetAudio has everything you need to enjoy your favorite music and videos with pure clarity regardless of the formats presented.
