GOM Audio Editor's Review

There are so many audio players on the market that you barely know which one to use first. Some of them have the right features, but do not have the appearance and performance. All in all, finding a middle solution can be quite daunting. However, GOM Audio is one of those softwares that might seem to come up with a little more than what you might want. Moreover, it is available for free, so there are no costs involved for trying it.

The installation is very facile and does not ask for too much work. Even an inexperienced individual can do it in no time. Unlike many other programs today, this one does for suggest or enforce third party applications, whether it comes to antiviruses, browsers or search tabs. It is nothing but a simple wizard that asks you to read and accept the terms, but also the configuration. If you do not want to change anything, you only have to click next a few times and the program installation is over within a few minutes only.

As you first load the program, there are not too many things to impress you. The interface is similar to what you can find in other applications. The screen is split into two parts. The left one has the music controls, including a few other options, like repeat or shuffle. The playlist is available right under the controls. You also have the possibility to integrate multiple playlists and choose the right one whenever you play some music. A new playlist can be added just by double clicking in the playlist area. The playlists can be switched on the fly. Combining, enlarging or decreasing them is doable with one button only. The right part of the screen might vary. When you choose a particular song from the playlist, you will get some information about the file, such as the playing time and bitrate. If you feel like customizing the program even more, you are free to add an album cover or any other picture. Moreover, the right part can also host your favorite radio channels. Unless you have used similar programs before, the right and bottom parts might be harder to become familiar with. As for the music controller, it is similar to what you can find in walkmans, audio players and any other units.

The whole interface covers most of the screen, but the good thing is that you can easily dock all the windows, aside from the music controls. Practically, you can end up with a small square and a few settings. GOM Audio supports third-party skins and comes pre-packed with three beautiful skins. Make sure you choose the right playlist before doing it. Reversing the process might be harder, but you got the right buttons on the audio controller. Since there are no texts under or around the buttons, there might be some problems in spotting them right away.

Users also have the possibility to change the equalizer presets. This option can only be seen as beneficial to experienced users as newbies won’t be so bothered with changing the default settings. There are ten bands you can modify, but also a few different presets, including club, pop or classical. The configuration panel seems to be designed for advanced users as well. It might feel a little overcrowded with some of the settings seem impossible to deal with. Unless you have operated such programs before, it might not be a good idea to change the settings only to figure out what they do. Moreover, settings like the reverb status, delay or frequency are excellent if you got a 3D surround system. Then again, stay away from them if you got no idea what you are doing.

When it comes to the actual performance, you can play almost any type of sound file, including WMA, MP3 or WAV. Even the rare formats that cause difficulties to other softwares (APE or MID) can be played with GOM Audio. However, users do not have the possibility to move or resize the tabs, while the missing converter is quite problematic in the attempt to rip a CD.

In the end, the best parts about GOM Audio include the possibility to be used by both amateurs and professionals. The equalizer is great for a personal touch, while the plugin support is excellent for more customizations. It does not require too much memory to run either. As for its drawbacks, the impossibility to convert some audio files or rip CDs is definitely a minus.

Positive Points:
 -   Plays almost all music files flawlessly.
 -   Brilliant User Interface with support for skins.
 -   Nifty playlist management.
 -   Excellent for both beginner and advanced users.

Negative Points:
 -   No labels or tooltips in a little overcrowded settings panel.
 -   Inability to rip some of the music formats.

Conclusion:
GOM Audio is a nice little program specifically designed to play audio files. It has plenty of new features with nice interface. However, the program is still new and the developers are still hardly working on improving it. It is appealing and enticing and the future seems very bright. If you are someone who loves listening to music and does it regularly, GOM Audio is definitely worth the try. If you are not a music freak, Windows Media Player might just be doing the job for you.
