Whisset
Whisset is an advanced media player incorporating several exciting technologies, some of which are new to the field of media players. Features include: high performance well designed user interface advanced skinning support in ALL parts of the program supports audio and video playback extensible, plugin based browsing system - browse through any type of directory structure as if it were on your local harddisk support for almost every type of data source through plugins support for player plugins support for visualizer plugins an extensive, documented API to assist easy third party plugin development platforms: Windows 95 / 98 / ME / 2000 or higher (administrator rights NOT needed on Windows 2000) Windows NT 4.0 with SP3 is not officially supported but might work on your system default plugins implement: support for MP3, WAV, AU, AIFF, IT, XM, UMX, MOD, S3M, MTM, STM, 669, OKT, FAR, MDL and all MCI file formats (like MIDI, AVI, MPG,...) support for direct HTTP and FTP streaming support for browsing through FTP sites support for WinAMP player plugins Our Review: With the use of digital music on the rise, desktop computers are beginning to replace the good old stereo in rooms around the world. The audio player has therefore become hugely competitive of late, offering to play your CD's, your MP3s and increasingly - radio. Whisset steps into the arena with what seems to be the generic 'my first audio player' set of tools to tempt potential customers. Funky, animated interface - check. Playlist and media library - check. Streaming audio - check. Skins and plug-ins - check, and so on. All in all Whisset does a fair job, although it does feel a little flakey to use, the menus are ugly and there aren't many add-ons available yet. While this should improve in the future, for now Whisset just doesn't quite cut all the mustard it should.
