Version: dBpowerAmp Audio Player 2.0
"The playlist editing is awful."
Pros: I have no idea what the good qualities are, because the bad one drove me away.
Cons: I despise the fact that you cant tell it to load a folder and subfolders like WinAmp can. I am not adding a thousand mp3's individually. If you click them all at once, you get "not found" errors. It makes it unusable for anyone with a large collection, unless you want to spend hours adding them separately.

Version: dBpowerAmp Audio Player 2.0
Pros: It's a great idea and a good start. I'll definitely try downloading a future release and see if it's better. The world needs a good-sounding, free, resource-friendly music player. System tray control is a huge plus.
Cons: No streaming audio yet! That's mainly what I wanted it for. The learning curve for queuing tracks and playing them seems very steep, judging on my own experience and the number of confused people in the forums. I definitely wasn't going through the learning process for a program without streaming. Once it has streaming and better queue/play/collection control it will be great.

Version: dBpowerAmp Audio Player 2.0
Cons: Has 2-1/2 time the memory footprint that XMPlay has. Takes almost as much resources as Microsoft's player.
It had a realcheezy interface. The editing screen workes in full screen only as it has no bottom scroll bar.
As far as skins ... there is not any down-loadable as of this writing. The hyperlinks on the site were not to valid locations. There is VERY little support. Q and A page had only one answer.

Version: dBpowerAmp Audio Player 2.0
"A nice program flawed by bugs"
Pros: It sports a good clean interface, coupled with effective data management. The product and the user benefits from modular design allowing for easy extension and customisation - it can be made to play any music format for e.g. And the equaliser of course.
Cons: It's buggy, pure and simple. Plus, depending on your hard disk or its setup music can sometimes playback with pops and crackles. There are better more solid alternatives such as J.River media center but you miss out on the equaliser front.

Version: dBpowerAmp Audio Player 2.0
Summary: Hangs constantly at the end of a MP3 while playing multiple mp3's.
Sometimes adds some obscure trobbing-noises too. - See all 179 user reviews Write review
