ZMPlay : Enjoy all of your favorite songs in a powerful audio player with various built-in plugins and visualizers, playlist manager, and equalizer
Sure enough you might rely on online services for playback of favorite audio files and songs, but offline playback still relies on a dedicated application. Some of them managed to make a name for themselves over the years, but it doesn’t mean there aren’t others worth at least a shot, and ZMPlay is a suitable example in this regard.
Simple visuals quickly get you up and running
It doesn’t take a lot of time before you can check out the set of features, but you do need to make sure that .NET Framework is already on your computer to enjoy all it has to offer. Chances are it’s already there if you’re using modern Windows iterations.The visual design is minimalistic, but the default configuration holds enough elements, such as track preview and details, playback controls, and equalizer, volume adjustment slider, as well as an attached playlist. You can go ahead and add files through a drag and drop operation, with the application supporting a few, but popular audio files.
Built-in and external DSP plugin support
Playback can be enhanced through an equalizer, with a variety of preset themes to choose from the options menu. In fact, the application comes with support for customization, and even accepts themes, and DSP plugins from other applications of its kind. It also comes with an impressive variety of content to enhance or alter audio.During playback, the application can be minimized to the tray area, where it’s possible to handle playback controls with little effort. Sady, hotkeys are not supported for this process. Visualizers make everything more exciting, with tons of presets to choose from, but there’s no option to adjust the size of the host window, which can feel a little small.
A few last words
All things considered, we can state that ZMPlay can be a suitable replacement for your current audio player. However, this is only if aesthetics and other major enhancement options aren’t of great importance, because you might stumble across several stability issues during runtime.
