VUPlayer version 4.22 has been released, enhancing its reputation as a lightweight open-source audio player that offers a variety of playlists and customizable appearance settings. The user interface is designed with a clean aesthetic, featuring a white background complemented by black fonts and blue icons for easy navigation. Users can manage their audio experience through four main tabs: File, View, Control, and Help, with frequent actions accessible via icons at the top of the application.
Adding files or folders to playlists is straightforward, akin to how iTunes operates, and playlists can be imported or exported in M3U or PLS formats. By default, VUPlayer will continue to play tracks in order, though some users have reported occasional skips, which may be related to testing in virtual environments. The application includes a toolbar with essential controls such as Seek Control, Progress Counter, various button controls, and Volume Control.
Despite its feature set, VUPlayer remains resource-efficient, typically consuming around 22MB of memory and less than 1% CPU usage while playing music, making it an attractive option for users seeking a minimalistic audio player. The application is also available in portable versions, allowing for easy use across different systems.
In addition to its core functionalities, users may appreciate guides available on how to enable Windows Sonic Surround Sound or diagnose sound-related issues on Windows 10 and 11, enhancing their overall audio experience.
As VUPlayer continues to develop, it faces the challenge of standing out in a crowded market of audio players. However, its efficient resource usage and user-friendly design position it as a compelling choice for those looking for a simple yet effective audio playback solution. Future updates could focus on improving compatibility and performance, potentially addressing issues encountered during VMware testing, to further solidify its standing among audio players
