Jet Audio Player and some Awesomer Skins!


When it comes to playing back tunes on your computer, it seems like everyone has an opinion of what they believe is the awesomest media player-thingy out there. The ones that always seem to pop up are the big three: Winamp, Windows Media Player, and iTunes. Foobar seems to be really popular as well.
But I wonder how many casual users are aware that there are so many other alternatives to what they are using?

One that sticks out from the pack to me is the jetAudio player. jetAudio may not be what everyone on the planet is looking for, but I think it's worth checking out. There are a lot of things that it is really awesomer at doing. The first reason that I like to use it is for it's available eye candy. Now I'm admittedly an old-school guy who likes the look of component systems, so the skin you see here may not be your cup of tea (read = Foobar fans), but there are small and sleek skins to choose from as well. And awesomer DJ skins ta boot!

Incidentally, jetAudio does a fine job at playing back video as well, despite it's one-dimensional sounding name. You even get a useful video format converter built right in. That way you can quickly convert the video you're watching to be able to play on your iPod or any other system or device without opening up another swiss army knife video utility program. Simple is good. And most or all of the other stuff you're used to using in the other popular players will be found here as well. To see jetAudio's complete feature list, just click here and scroll down to "features".
