I still use the older version 4.95 (not freeware) when it was Cowan Jet Audio. It is by far the best sounding audio player I have ever used and has a ton of features, including video player, MP3 ripping etc in an impressive interface. I use it to listen to audio without accompanying graphics. I tried the new freeware? version 5 when it first came out and was not impressed because it was a resource hog, some features did not work, and I thought the sound quality was not as good as the older version. I deleted it from my system. Maybe things have changed since then, but I am happy with the older version.
