Lightweight Audio Player for Windows
So for part of my working day I’m tied to an ancient, under-powered laptop which isn’t THAT much more powerful than the handheld devices I develop for. This poor old machine is decrepit enough that running WinAmp and a basic development environment at the same time is a MAJOR CHORE. (Enough so that WinAmp, a DevEnv and Firefox at the same time is right out of the question.) So out of curiosity, I consulted Google for a lightweight Windows audio player so that I can play CDs and still do my job effective.
It turned up foobar2000. If you’re in need of such a program, I highly recommend it. Small, free (as in beer), extensible, and in its basic configuration uses up next to know resources.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to cut code, consult firefox, AND listen to CDs, all at the same time…
