First I must confess - I'm still using Winamp because it's so easy to make playlists and all that stuff.
But my Winamp love is fading and I'm looking for a better audio player. Basically what I want to do is this:
Create a folder (or a playlist), put some masters (or different versions) of my song into it and compare/analyze each other to find the best one(s)!
I could do something similar in an audio editor but I cannot create playlists or alias folders with it...
Is there an advanced audio player (for Windows) with lots of analyzing tools that can do this - some kind of audio player for musicians and sound engineers, not only for listeners?
Audio player with the best analyzing tools?

I really like winamp and I have for years (it's playing right now). Why cant you just make a folder called "demo", deposit your songs there and then just go to that folder from the browser. When I go to a band (which is just a folder of files on my machine) it only plays the songs in that folder, you can repeat a song or the entire folder and play shuffle play.Tricky-Loops wrote:First I must confess - I'm still using Winamp because it's so easy to make playlists and all that stuff.

As for analyzing, the full size spectrum analyzer may not be state of the art but it aint bad. However if I'm not mistaken you can add a vst SA if you like as well
edit: I meant in the media library, not the browser
The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

foobar2000 is a pretty old one, jetaudio doesn't look like it could be my favorite, either...Turello wrote:foobar2000, prego...

I thought there might be a revolutionary new audio player for musicians or sound engineers!
Otherwise I could load all tracks into my Acoustica Audio Editor and put some analyzers onto them but I want to have an audio player...

Goldwave is a nice, independent audio editor whose batch feature (of the demo version) I used a few years ago to convert thousands of WAV files to TXT files (so that I could use them in Angular Momentum Freehand which loads only TXT files as oscillators).werp wrote:this might help

But it's not an audio player, alas.

I don't know much about it. it does say "Play all your favourite songs and view real-time visuals. "Listen to the audio while fast-forwarding or rewinding. Change the playback speed to hear your music in a whole new way, or to learn a song by ear, or transcribe dictation or a lesson."Tricky-Loops wrote:Goldwave is a nice, independent audio editor whose batch feature (of the demo version) I used a few years ago to convert thousands of WAV files to TXT files (so that I could use them in Angular Momentum Freehand which loads only TXT files as oscillators).werp wrote:this might help

I'm tired of being insane. I'm going outsane for some fresh air.

I tested Goldwave a few years ago and I fell in love with the batch feature (for example, WAV to TXT) but as an audio editor it's still a bit unstable - at least they're now even supporting VST, so let's see what the future brings...werp wrote:I don't know much about it. it does say "Play all your favourite songs and view real-time visuals.

Regarding audio editors, I'm quite happy with Acoustica Standard (by Acon Digital) at the moment!

Aimp is a nice Russian audio player but I wanted to have something completely different to Winamp.urlwolf wrote:Aimp is the natural successor to winamp. Can Lord vsts too.
I'm still hoping that someone mentions a revolutionary new media player that fulfills all my dreams and desires...

Tricky, know that foobar2000 is constantly updated\fixed\improved... Analyzing tool by default, Asio support, VST support (If You want to use the best Analyzer possible!), portable feature (a thing I love) and more other features... For You seems that all what is old= bad... A thing I hate is that italian language is unsupported...
... If You have tasted it and don't like ok but runs perfectly in my DAW (Win XP) and in this laptop (Windows
too!
GoldWave and Acon are 2 simple audio editors, not players... If you find search the free Native Instruments (can't remember the name but seems a DJ player) or an Old Steinberg Player (also can't remember name... -_-)
