Meson Player is a very convenient music player if you don't need any GUI to control playback or manage playlists. You just run it and then forget about it. The player is running in background. Switching tracks, volume control, loading and saving playlists, all of this performed by using hotkeys. Therefore, you can control the player while working in any application.

Meson Player supports a lot of music file formats (stream and tracker), Internet radio and playlists management.

Supported OS:
- Windows 10 64-bit (1909 build)
- OSX 10.15 Catalina
- Kubuntu 19.10 Eoan Ermine 64-bit

User Reviews

  • Hi, it would be great a 86x version.
  • Great player, but changing mods-cmd in Windows 7 does not appear to work--player will not start with that setting enabled in settings.ini.
  • Great little player, really good sound and straightforward usability without any bloat. The only thing I wish it had is WASAPI support, but even through DirectSound it sounds great.
  • Nice and simple music player.
