Free audio player including media management and conversion utilities.

VUPlayer is a beautifully simplistic music player for Windows that packs in function along with practicality.

Upon launching the media player, you'll see that VUPlayer sports a rather plain interface. It's divided up into two sections: the left panel contains a Windows filesystem tree to browse for media files and the right side the media files it has located and is ready to play. The top bar provides access to common media player functions like next track, previous track, stop and pause.

VUPlayer includes a few visual effects that accompany music playback including Artwork, Peak Meter, Oscilloscope, Spectrum Analyzer and VU Meter. These are a nice touch as the rest of the interface is rather plain. Note that you can change the colors up if you'd like.

Built-in media converter

Moving on to other features of this media player, you can't miss the fact that the program also has a media converter built in. It can covert between formats such as LAME MP3, FLAC and WAV PCM. It includes a few mixing features like crossfading tracks, surround sound, ramping, interpolation and looping.

VUPlayer puts a little bit of importance on quality as can be seen it the general attitude of the design, so it's nice to see that loudness is a feature that's been built into the program with the ability to normalize loudness between tracks.

All in all, this is an awesome music player despite its simplistic design.
