musikCube 1.0

Publisher's Description:

musikCube is much more than an "mp3 player," it is a music library. It currently supports mp3, ogg, flac, and cd audio file formats. It also features an integrated cd ripper helping you take control of your music from the start. musikCube tries to stay as intuitive and attractive as possible without degrading the performance of your computer. We believe very strongly that your mp3 player should not exist only to be eye candy, but be a functional, cohesive part of your operating system. It is the vanilla audio player for Windows.

    Nothing fancy here, except the fact that it's the most efficient player I've seen that's actually usable. I've used it on *very* low end PCs running 2000/XP (it works fine under Vista, too) with tens of gigabytes of songs, no problem. The internal database system is fast fast fast for searching songs. It's also music-oriented (hence the name), unlike other players who try to be video players etc. I don't know how it does with streaming, as I don't use it. I also don't know how well it rips CDs, as I use WMP or Audiograbber (another classic) for that purpose.

    The downside is that development of Musikcube seems slow - although I'm unsure myself what to do with such a good piece of software.

    One annoying bug I've found is that on a few setups (XP with Windowblinds, Vista), sometimes I can't see the scroll bar and volume control. I'm pretty sure this is a compiler problem, though.

    Powerful, unpretentious, relatively small memory footprint, fast scanning of large folders of music.

    Only down side is that it comes with no build in urls to net radio/podcasts in the library, but thats not enough to knock it down to 4/5.

    Good MP3 player, but doesn't support the mac version of MP3 like jetaudio, qcd, qmp, winamp, and Itunes, do.

    This is probably the best music program out right now. I've never been a fan of WinAmp, and WMP11 is too much of a resource hog. I liked FooBar, but MusikCube does a better job with playlists. Plus it has the addition of Dynamic Playlists, which are actually quite useful for playing the music in your library that you're in the mood for.

    Well, I wasn't sure if I should say a word about this proggy, but after noticed:
    + The resource usage: unnoticed memory and cpu footprint! I was really impressed, these days is common for all players to use alt least 20MB but this one never crossed 8MB (takes only 2MB when minimized).
    + clean an (kind of) classic interface, no skins and other bloated stuff
    + clean accessible options.

    … I've said to myself that it deserves at least a good review.

    The download fails on me (only half of the files were downloaded), therefore I've took it from another source:

    Good job!
