CNET Editors' review
During installation, you have to be careful if you don't want to set JetAudio Basic as the default application for audio and video files. However, the freeware application gives you plenty of reasons to make it your only player.
The interface has a modern design that looks like an equalizer. You can customize each section of the program, from CD ripping to format conversion, to your heart's content. The program can convert files among some a number of formats, as well as read and edit MP3 tags. The built-in Cross-fader, Reverb, and Wide-sound modes provide a nice touch not found in most MP3 players. The program becomes truly unique with its clock, however, which features a timer and an alarm. We also appreciate the inclusion of a tool for seeking out song lyrics.
Our only quibble is it treats a playlist as an album but uses the artist as its primary key field, making it difficult to locate mixes. JetAudio Basic's appealing product set should attract audiophiles.

"Be careful"
Version: JetAudio Basic 8.0.17
Pros
I am pretty certain it is a good item . See my 'cons' for my opinion .
Cons
I really should know better at my age . Got involved with eMusic and glad to get shut of .
For those who like eMusic , fair enough ; they have form and sort of suck you in .
Queck their record with their dealings with their customers , plenty to see on Google .Summary
My last dealing with eMusic . Shame that they seem to have got involved with a good company like Cowon .

"Advertises itself well."
Version: JetAudio Basic 8.0.17
Pros
"Old Version",..was an acceptable player all round.
Cons
Appears to have a problem with the download of the "New Version",.. and deletion of the "Old Version".
Summary
As i had the Basic Version for some years,..and was happy with it,.. i thought to download the "New Version",..making sure it didn't set itself as the Default Player,..after the download was complete i clicked the Shortcut,..everything froze,..turned off the PC and tried again,..another freeze,..so i uninstalled the program,..not wishing to tempt faith a third time.

"It's a good one bud."
Version: JetAudio Basic 8.0.17
Pros
It records and plays music.
Cons
Doesn't convert much unless you buy upgrade. I use MediaCoder for converting.
Summary
This is the audio player I use on my main computer. I download MP3 music mainly from Amazon or CD Baby and make 75 minute CD mixes. It does the job for me. I have it set as my default player also as I like it as a player also.
