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.

"It didn't work for m"
Version: JetAudio Basic 8.0.16
Pros
I guess it must have some, seeing as it has positive reviews. What they are are unknown to me.
Cons
Very hard to use. No instructions and not intuitive at all.
I had great sound effects you wish to have your music sound like a gerbil. It sped up the track so much I could not make out the words.Summary
It needs work. 1) it needs basic instructions 2) it needs to be able to play music correctly. What a waste of time.

"The most versatile and best sounding player I used."
Version: JetAudio Basic 8.0.16
Pros
Jet Audio plays almost anything one throws at it and the codecs are really good. Many formats sounds better with Jet Audio, even without using the enhancers or the equalizer. 3K and 4K videos play smoothly while the other couple of players that can play them have problems, like stuttering, taking ages to open or relocate to some part of the video. The GUI is very beautiful and put other players to shame. It also coexists with other software and codec packs without any problems. Highly recommended! Just try once and listen to realize the difference.
Cons
Still trying to find one, maybe the number of features being so high will be a problem for some and not enough bells and whistles for others. My only problem was the difficulty in configuring it to play some IP based sources manually.
Summary
It is a top quality AIO Audio and Video player with all the features one may need. Whatever other players do, Jet Audio usually does better.
