Tired of trying various music players? Haven't yet found an ideal one? Windows Media Player and iTunes lack customization; Foobar lacks simplicity; and Winamp seems like a totally outdated player apart from being a memory hog.

Just like you, I have tried almost every audio player on earth, but none of them was close to my liking. Well, don't despair, your search for a player, which integrates the best of all worlds is finally over, and it just rolled out of beta and RC phase. Presenting you; 'Musik Cube 1.0.'

Musik Cube seems to resemble a lot to Foobar; even the developing phase was similar with getting the software under GPL license. But, it kept one thing in mind, 'Simplicity.' Foobar is my current favorite due to simple interface and unbeatable sound quality, but the interface cannot be customized easily, as one has to learn scripting for it. Though, I did script it to suit my needs, majority of people can't. This is where Musik Cube steps in.


Those who are already familiar with Foobar will immediately get used to the player since it has a very similar styling. First look itself will explain you the whole player, since it has a very clean interface.

Now, the fun part begins. Almost every field can be resized, so you can obtain a vast array of looks within the same UI. One can design the whole player according to one's needs.


The user can easily access the whole library, the Now Playing, Search, Net Radio, drives-list, play lists, and dynamic play list with a single click as all these are docked and undocked according to wish. The library, which is the most important element in your music navigation, will display the artists, their respective albums, and all the songs comprised there.

May be Windows Media Player 11 is good but it is not good at its counterparts like, internet radio or other applications using internet, moreover its new skins take very long time to open as they slow down the pc. Winamp is the best as it is user friendly and has huge range of applications in it and that too with a large number of hotkeys. It provides the bets sound quality as compared to any other player. And Winamp is never outdated with it's unlimited lot of skins; as their is no one to compete at its level. It's equiliser is just superb.

Is this player capable of making karaoke tracks, i.e. -1 tracks from a normal mp3 track?

one word: fugly. Winamp still holds top position for me. May be a memory hog, but it looks good, plays well, and is amazingly simple to use.

Memory hog is an understatement considering the amount of RAM an average system has... Now even the basic config starts with atleast 512MB & most moving to 1 gig....
