Furthermore, you can view track information such as length, bit rate, sample rate, size, file type, play count and your rating, as well as complete tags automatically or manually, look for cover art on several websites (Amazon, Discogs, MusicBrainz etc.), load it from a specified URL or from the hard drive (PNG, JPG, BMP, GIF etc.).

Enjoy online streams or offline files

It is possible to listen to music from removable devices, cloud solutions (Google Drive, Dropbox, Skydrive etc.), radio stations (SKY.fm, Last.fm, rockradio.com etc.) and other online sources.

An equalizer can be brought up and used, as well as the presets it comes with, visualizations can be displayed and chosen from a long built-in list, while songs can be converted from one format to another, with support at import and export for FLAC, OFF, MP4, MP3, OPUS, OGG, WAV and WMA files.
