VPX is a Windows desktop music player built around two ideas the mainstream players
dropped: play everything, and show the sound.
It opens roughly 70 formats in the same window - the usual MP3, FLAC, WAV, OGG, Opus,
AAC, M4A, WMA, APE and WavPack, plus the tracker modules of the Amiga and DOS era
(MOD, XM, IT, S3M, MTM, 669, OKT, MED, FAR, PTM, DBM, PSM, GDM, UMX and more) rendered
by libopenmpt. No codec packs, no plugins to hunt down.
While it plays, each channel gets its own oscilloscope, coloured by frequency: green in
the bass, amber in the mids, red in the treble. There is also a 10-band equaliser,
crossfade between tracks, folder-based playlists and a compact skin for the edge of
the screen.
Free trial for three days, then a one-time purchase. No subscription and no account.
