UltraPlayer Media Player for Windows

Used UltraPlayer Media Player for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffNovember 8, 2008

Clean and clever, UltraPlayer is a solid media player contender. Its simple interface keeps controls close at hand and offers some handy tools in a few clicks. Standard audio and video formats are supported as are the requisite skins and visuals (though there seem to be precious few available). UltraPlayer's limits emerge in its handling of URLs: focused on Internet radio, the program had trouble loading online MP3s or videos in our tests--and for some this may be a deal breaker. However, it distinguishes itself elsewhere with tricks such as saving streaming audio to MP3, converting MP3s to WAVs, and applying audio effects, in addition to featuring a smart and usable interface.

Wonderful little music player
wfraser1982August 5, 2011
Pros
Easy to use, small, convenient
Cons
bit hard to read the display
Summary
If you're looking for a basic player to handle your music, this is an excellent option but it is very basic. I wanted something to play mp3s and it does that well. I don't know about streaming audio and it doesn't play video, but I have vlc for that. I'd recommend this is you don't want anything fancy.
very good, but small

Simplicity Itself!

Pros
As stated, simplicity is the key to this device. Lots of functionality, much less hassle than one might be used to with say WMP. Lots of cool add-ons, skins, etc...
Cons
I myself had no luck getting the onboard radio linkage to work.
Summary
This is Windows98 Era
nmweathermanDecember 8, 2009
Pros
My Windows XP ran it
Cons
Too small on the monitor
Summary
1. The GUI is 'way too small to deal with without squinting 2. Won't play videos, just for music. 3. Click the wrong "X" on the GUI and it flies to pieces and disappears. 4. Has no full-screen that I could find.
Doesn't Record Streaming Media
rln_usaApril 26, 2009
Pros
I only had one purpose for utilizing this software.
Cons
Software description claimed to record streaming audio, but could not.
Summary
The software says that it records streaming audio from internet radio, but when I inputed the URL under the "Add" option within Playlist, Ultraplayer replied back "Error Connecting To Server". It was pretty frustrating, too, because I could open and play the radio station simultaneously in another window. Guess I"ll have to look for another software package.
Ugly, hard to use
flemur13013April 22, 2009
Pros
It's free.
Cons
GUI wastes space, hard to see, hard to use. Recording a stream is very awkward (use AIMP2 instead!).
Summary
There's lots better - if you want to record radio streams (and do other typical playing functions, plus converting), try AIMP (AIMP2?) instead.
Very nice player
