QuuxPlayer

QuuxPlayer Standard Edition is a sleek audio player that allows users to import and organize music already on their computers as well as access a multitude of online radio stations. The program combines an intuitive interface with useful features, making it a nice alternative to other popular audio players.

The program's interface is well-organized and attractive, with the typical audio controls as well as buttons that allow users to switch between music stored on their computer and a variety of Internet radio stations. The radio stations were particularly well-organized by genre, and we liked that the program makes it easy for users to add additional stations that aren't listed. It is true that the interface isn't particularly flashy or customizable, but its ease of use more than makes up for it. An online Help file is brief but adequate. The program offers both playlists and filters to allow users to organize their music collections, and there are a few fun social media features thrown in as well; users can have QuuxPlayer update their Twitter or Last.fm accounts with what they're currently listening to. Overall, there was nothing about QuuxPlayer that really blew us away, but we appreciated its emphasis on simple navigation and commonsense features that work.

QuuxPlayer Standard Edition is free. It installs desktop icons without asking but uninstalls without issues. We recommend this program to all users.
