  1. Review - Apollo

    37v (Sep 7, 2003)

    I just discovered this excellent player. Too bad the author is no longer supporting it. Excellent sound quality and good features, the only thing missing is tag editing. Perhaps someday the author will be inspired to do a rewrite of this nice program. Worth trying if you want a non skin-based player.

  2. Review - XMPlay

    Back with an update. Been using Jetaudio for a few months, also tried coolplayer for quite a while also. Jet audio has mucho features, plus it plays wma and ram files. But, the bass is just muddy, and the preamp gain can't be adjusted, had to normalize lots o' files because they were distorted otherwise. Coolplayer is about the same featurewise and for sound quality. But, XMplay gives you the reverb and surround options, giving it the overall edge. So, xmplay remains my first choice for best sound quality, Tried 'em all, so far this one's the best!

    Very good sound quality. I've been using Quintessential player with DFX plugin. XMplay sounds just as good maybe better, but that's so subjective... A bit less reverb and not as wide a soundstage, but that could be a plus or minus depending on your preference. I highly recommend trying this player, it definitely sounds better than most all of the others out there. Plus some unique options for the sound like interpolation and reverb.

    The Ipod for PC ship with Musicmatch, which is not very good. I foung it really screwed up my tags, and I had to manually fix them. Plu I like QCD as my default media player. Xplay is the best method to transfer files to the Ipod. Simple drag n' drop. Also lets you create play lists. Great tool and a must-have.
