I have been experimenting with Audio Players for the past few days in my quest to find the best player. I tried everything from Media Player Classic to foobar2000. VLC Player proved very good sound quality wise despite the low CPU usage. WinAmp as expected did amazingly well in most test but didn't impress me when it came to sound quality. It was only marginally better than VLC Player and when I put it up against my JetAudio Plus, JA blew it away. I even did a blind test to make sure I wasn't being biased because I am a big fan of JA. I tested it with a few songs from different genres and amazingly I could tell the difference 9/10 times.

Now I understand that LYN has many devoted WinAmp fans so I want to know if it is just me or is JetAudio better?

Note:

*Please note that I used JetAudio PLUS, the PAID version. Although I doubt there is a difference in SQ with the Basic FREE version.

*Also note that I tested both software without adding any plug ins. Just what came with the original installation, didnt even install new skins.

*I tested it with both headphones and 2.1 speakers. Testing on the speakers made the difference in bass quality VERY clear.

I haven't and i don't intend to. The whole point here is for me to find one a player that plays excelllently right out of the box. I know that WinAmp is almost unmatchable after you add up the numerous plug ins but how good is it at default?

thank you...i thought i was the only one. =)

I have to agree with you. I use the timer function often too.
