Orbita NPlayer1.2.4

Keeping all of your favorite audio files on your computer sooner or later means you need to rely on a dedicated player to listen to them. Plenty of programs managed to make a name for themselves, but this doesn’t mean there aren’t others fully capable of performing just as good, and a suitable example here is Orbita NPlayer.

Multiple players and built-in mixer

Note that Java Runtime Environment is a mandatory requirement for functionality, so you need to be sure that it’s already on your computer, or the PC you decide to use it on, because the program is portable, saving you the time and effort needed otherwise to go through a setup process. Registry entries are not altered during runtime.You might feel a little confused by the visual design at first, but this is mostly because its default mode is the dual player. You can easily switch to a single player mode, or even a mixer. What’s more, the options panel makes it possible to add up to 12 individual players, or tabs, making it quite suitable for large events.

File support and extra functions

Since it’s an audio player, it needs to neatly read a variety of audio formats, and it does. As such, you’re allowed to load formats like MP1, MP2, MP3, FLAC, APE, APL, OGG, WAV, AIF, AU, as well as M3U playlists. Each player comes with its own playlist editor, making it easy to manage them through simple drag and drop operations.Playback controls are decent, letting you shuffle the entire list, manual mode, repeat a single track, or repeat them all. As mentioned, there’s also an audio mixer to use, making it suitable for DJ sessions. Although there aren’t many effects, you do benefit from crossfade, and even a schedule for long-term activities.

To end with

All things considered, Orbita NPlayer is a suitable alternative to most audio players out there. Although the visual design isn’t it’s top feature, it does come with an impressive variety of modes, functions, as well as decent file support to process most kinds of files you might need.
