CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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. Watch the CNET video review of JetAudio Basic:

Version: JetAudio Basic 7.0.3001
Pros: JetAudio's usual very fast, clean product - very very good sound, close to if not as good as XMPlay. Lovely interface.
Excellent new 'Media Center' - library, radio tuner, playlist manager, all sorts of options. Very nice to use.
Cons: Little or no support available yet - JetAudio 7 is a complex bit of software, and while most things are intuitive, a bit of help would save a lot of time!

Version: JetAudio Basic 7.0.3001
"Overstuffed Pig of a program"
Pros: I did not give it a fair test. Once I found it could not play an AVI file without stuttering plus how much memory it took up I cut it from my system
Cons: There are too many good players available to put up with a system hog. When Jet first came out it was slim, trim and ran like a dream.

Version: JetAudio Basic 7.0.3001
Cons: I downloaded this specifically to be able to convert into MP3, or to be able to reduce MP3 bitrate, and the program will do neither. The software does not support MP3 as an output format for either ripping or file conversion.

Version: JetAudio Basic 7.0.3001
"Not sure if it is flawed, but still no aac/aacPlus"
Pros: Nice interface.
Cons: Without aac support it is useless to me. Even Winamp has aac/aacPlus and MediaMonkey has it coming in their pending 3.0 release. Once again, passing on this release.
