  • music7 mentions

    Users express frustration with the music playback experience, highlighting the need for a more integrated and user-friendly media player that combines music, movies, and photos. Many prefer established programs like MPC and JRiver for their superior audio organization and playback capabilities, while others find current options like Zoom Player lacking in features such as visualizations and intuitive navigation. Overall, there is a strong desire for a streamlined solution that enhances the music listening experience.

    • “A slick interface with easy shortcuts on command, such as right-clicking to find where the track is located on a hard drive, memorizing what folder a song came from to quickly add another track from that same folder, and a more responsive time tracker than VLC Media Player for me.”
    • “I have been looking for a media player to run all my music and movies.”
    • “Using Zoom Player as a music player is kind of dull to use, and it doesn't come with any visualization plugins out of the box.”
    • “The only negative I came across is that the menu system takes a bit to get used to. Also, the ability to at least have visualizations while music is playing seems to be lost on me.”
    • “I was running VLC for my media and old school Winamp for my music.”

    • “Using the touchscreen on my hybrid laptop/tablet to watch videos feels great on this app - very well optimized for it.”
    • “If video performance isn't great or there are no subtitles, go to options/playback/video, set the video renderer to madVR, press OK, and then reopen the content to see the difference.”

    • “Despite having a powerful system, the game struggles to maintain a stable frame rate, which is frustrating.”
