My predominant audio participant for a few years has been, and can stay, foobar, however there are some instances after I simply need a easy “load’n’play” sort of participant. An utility that comes very shut is Billy.

It is a incredible little app that matches in with my preferences in software program design i.e. commonplace controls, no skins, and so forth. Nevertheless, it solely helps MP3, WAV, OGG, & FLAC and it additionally would not show or use tags. Sadly, my audio assortment contains many extra codecs than that and I tag information like a person possessed.

So, with that in thoughts, I’ve all the time wished to jot down my very own easy participant. An excellent buddy and I wrapped the BASS audio engine in AutoHotkey and I’ve written a participant known as Trout.
