APPS SPECIAL........ 7 best free music apps for your Windows

7 best free music apps for your Windows


Music makes even the dullest day more fun, but the default players that come with Windows' various versions aren't exactly all-singing, all-dancing audio extravaganzas.Here are the apps that make music amazing on your PC.

Foobar2000
Foobar2000 is a powerful free music app that can be as simple or advanced as you like thanks to its modular design.
It doesn't look like much ­ this free music app is designed to be simple and memory-efficient ­ but you can make it look any way you like and add whatever features you want. Components include CD burning, decoding of PlayStation sound files, visualisations, playlist organisers and all kinds of useful things. You can even customise the keyboard shortcuts to suit your way of doing things.

Spotify
Spotify's desktop app gives you access to all of the service's best features, including community options.
As you'd expect from a service that's primarily about subscriptions the free version is limited in what it can do ­ tracks shuffle and you will get the odd advert -but if you don't mind somebody else controlling the playlist it's a great way to soundtrack whatever you're doing.

MusicBee
It's an impressive free music app for Windows that puts a wealth of information at your fingertips.
MusicBee describes itself as the ultimate music manager and player. There's a multi-band equaliser with digital signal processing effects, support for high-end audio cards, upmixing from stereo to surround sound and even support for some WinAmp plugins to expand the app further.

Dopamine
Dopamine is wonderfully easy to use, with a simple wizard to help you import your songs and get started.
This free music app is designed to make organising and listening to music as simple as possible, and it looks absolutely brilliant on Windows 10. It supports WAV, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, WMA and M4AAAC, and there are a range of views from full-window to sitting in the taskbar.

MediaMonkey
If your music library is looking a bit disorganised, MediaMonkey will help you get it in order.
MediaMonkey can't stop unwanted U2 albums turning up, but this free music app can automatically tag your music as well as other useful things including DLNA streaming, syncing with devices including Android and iPods, run in DJ mode, automatically set volumes so tracks don't vary, record CDs and download audio from the internet.

Winamp
What Winamp lacks in gloss, it makes up for in downloadable addons for dozens of other programs and services.
It's ancient in software terms, but there's a charm to it that more modern players lack ­ partly because it looks unimpressive. But the real fun is in its visualisations and plugins, which have the benefit of two decades of developers' efforts. If you fancy kicking it oldschool, it's a lot of fun.

VLC Media Player
A brilliant free music app, VLC Media Player can play just about any file or music stream.
VLC Media Player might not be as pretty as some other media apps, but that's never been a key part of its appeal: it's the fact that VLC can import and export in file formats so numerous that we're secretly convinced some of them are complete ly made up. It plays any kind of disc you can throw at it .
