Download of the Day: MusikCube (Windows)


Windows only: Rip CDs, build playlists, listen to your music collection and more with MusikCube, an open-source music player and manager.

The program supports virtually all music formats (except protected WMA, which in my tests crashed it) and lets you sort your library by any criteria: track, album, bitrate, etc. It offers both 6- and 18-band equalizers and works with any portable player that acts as a hard drive when plugged in.

But perhaps MusikCube's most impressive feature is dynamic playlists. It comes with a few, like "50 Last Played" and "Favorite Artist," but you can also create your own (though a little scripting is required).

Fast, compact, and easy to use, MusikCube should appeal to anyone seeking a music player that's not bloated with bells and whistles. Its only real shortcoming is lack of support for album art. MusikCube is free and requires Windows 2000/XP.
