Good player - and I like that they are working on making it more keyboard friendly. More efficient than always using a mouse. Keep up the good work, please. :)

i really wonder what you might find in common between Spider and Music Match. err... tried it in 2.3 betas, din't find that state to hinder my experience but i didn't find compelling reasons to keep it. It is very good and comfortable but the interface is quite toy-looking which i can't stand and available skins are a disaster. It certainly lacks the all-in-one details i use in Winamp, and even if that one is heavier it is still light and very complete. Very good anyway, feels like a Winamp Restarted.

Pretty darn nice little player. Reminds me of Music Match 7.5, back when it was still a good player. This one, unlike Music Match 7.5, has a responsive progress bar that goes right to where you click it. Music Match forces you to drag the little tiny progress "dot", which can be a pain in audio books. I like the feature that it can remember where you left off when you close and restart the app, again, great for audio books. I do wish it had a "mini-mode" like Music Match does, where it can collapse into a single small line of stuff. I also wish the main player area on the left was resizeable. I don't use the EQ at all, so turn it off. I'd like to be able to stretch the primary window to the far right so that it can be the same width as a playlist usually ends up being. For now, I just put the playlist window right next to the main player window, like Music Match 7.5 defaulted to, so it works okay, but still. It does do snap docking, which makes for easier window management, and I like the cross-fade feature and how adjustable it can be. I set it to Zero for audio books, but can drag it higher for music if I wish. I hope they continue to develop it. So far, it's a pretty good little app, as a player at least. I use BonkEncoder for ripping and converting anyway, which is a pretty awesome free app, so this free version of Spider will probably do me just fine.

Quality of sound is so-so and I am still waiting for this to do the laundry too.

Not so sure it's worth a version update because the thing got a new skin and a couple of new translations. Who the hell cares eh. Did anything -important- change?
