Windows 10: Looking for Audio Player Recommendations

I recently got a new audio setup and have been playing all of my ripped CDs (in WAV format) using Windows Media Player. I'm not pleased with it, to be honest. Here's why:

• It always starts on the exact same song
• The current song isn't very easily displayed. There's only one line in small text that shows song information, switching between Artist name, song title, Album name I think. I'd like it in a bit larger text, but at least for the song title & artist to stay there.
• I would love for it to display the lyrics, if that's possible. Windows Media Player, does not.

Otherwise, it does the job for me. I'm just wondering if there's anything better. Not sure if I need an Equilizer or not.

Here's my audio setup:

• Receiver: Yamaha RX-V383
• Speakers: KEF Q100s (pair)

Hi reborn018,

Thank you for your post.

The recommended headset to be used with this device is the Nokia Stereo Headset WH-102. You can find out about it on the Link below:

Looking for recommendations

Hi there.



I currently have the X3-02 with HS-43 as my headset. Recently it seems the lower volume button is no longer working and with losing the ear buds, I've decided i'll get myself a new headset. I figured I would just get another HS-43 however the shops i've
been looking at seem to have them out of stock and while Play.com has them marked as in stock, i've had the experience in the past of where that is a lie.



Anywho, basically i'm looking for a replacement headset however images for various headsets are not clear enough. Basically the reason I like the current headset is because I want the neck band and prefer the ear buds compared to the gel ones.



Having volume controls or call controls would also be helpful, they don't necessarily have to be Nokia ones. If people know of any headsets that cover at least the two above things - that would be helpful.



Thanks. ~

1. I have no idea why it starts on the same song, unless you're resuming previous playlists or not closing the player completely.

2. I'm not aware of any way to show more information in WMP 'Now Playing' mode, with the exception of "Windows Media Player Taskband", (which still works in Windows 10, btw), which shows info for a short period of time on mouse hover.
Enable WMP Taskband:
Windows Media Player Taskband

3. WMP requires a Plug-in to show lyrics.
(Downloading and running some Plug-ins from the internet can be 'sketchy'! I'll leave that up to you! Use CAUTION!)

Other media players have 'show lyrics' capabilities but, most of them require you to have an .lrc (lyric) file of every track in every folder!

Best of luck in your search. If I come across anything else, I'll post about it.

 

I enjoy using Windows Media Player Classic, very nice interface with lots of settings, it has support for x86 & x64 OS's. Also VLC is another nice one.

 

Audacious on Desktop. While display of lyrics would be nice, such projects are not monetized or incentivized legitimately.

On Windows Phone, I was happy with the default on 8.1. Upgrade to 10 gave me Groove. The app didn't do a thing. Tried five other apps from the Store, including VLC. The sixth, Extreme Music, works well.
