JetAudio Basic - Free download and software reviews

JetAudio Basic - Free Music Player

JetAudio is integrated software entertainment functions. The program not only have the ability to play different music formats, but also can record a CD, record and convert between different audio formats. 

JetAudio Basic gives you the tools to manage multiple types of media through one versatile program with options for both video and audio files. With this program, you can maximize the potential of your equipment while also customizing the app to suit your specific needs.

Equalizer performance: The Equalizer included in this app works very well, and it will greatly enhance the quality of everything you choose to play. It allows you to hear individual instruments during playback, as well as distinct vocal tracks -- and it will greatly enhance the quality of your listening experience overall.

Automatic additions: When you're setting up this program, all you have to do is let it scan your computer for media files, and it will add them automatically. Even a large library can be added seamlessly using this feature, and you'll immediately have all of your audio and video files in the same place.

Cons

Poor video quality: While this program does play video files, its main purpose really seems to be audio playback. You certainly can play video through this app, but if that's your main intent, a more dedicated video program may be a better option.

Steep learning curve: This program's interface is not terribly attractive or intuitive. Experienced users will find their way around without too much trouble, but the learning curve is especially steep for newcomers to this type of software.

Bottom Line

JetAudio Basic provides a lot of nice features in a free and highly customizable package. But in order to really get the most out of this app, you need to have some experience with this type of program or dedicate some time to learning how to take advantage of all it has to offer.
