If you listen to music a lot or barely at all, this is 1 of, or the only audio player for you, especially if you have no need for playlists and just wish to play a folder or files in a folder on your computer with near to zero of a learning curve making it the easiest actual audio player second only to Windows 7 preview option or in Windows 10 using a small app called "Quickview" which resembles the removed Preview tool.. If you have 100's of thousands of tracks even albums but just wish to preview or not open or add to a playlist to listen to a freshly acquired collection of audio files (aka an album) then you too should have this as your quick and easy go to player, it plays, as far as i know, everything (no doubt there's a file format it doesn't play, I've not found one yet and it's probably not worth having if it's that difficult to play. If the con's are unacceptable look to XMP, VUPlayer, Winyl, MPCH, Ocean Audio, Elisa & Resonic, all excellent yet easy to use players with more features than Boom. Some have playlist options, not all have portable versions, a few support visualisers, some tagging, all have dark themes or can have their colours changed, and a few work similarly to Boom without the con. I recommend them all, they all have a use, some more than others, at some point during my time listening to music. Pro's Near zero learning curve, plays & displays your audio files as they appear in their folder and are titled. It displays 100's & 100's of folders just as fast as windows explorer (possibly faster). re-sizeable window capable of displaying a handful of foldered files or 100's, limited only by your monitors size. It has play, stop & a volume control. Portable so perfect for a thumbdrive app collection. Con's No cue file support & thus No ability to forward through a single audio file made of multiple tracks/songs. You simply have to play the entire file to get to the tune you wish to hear with the only "fix" to "crop" the audio file into individual songs.tracks. (using a tool such as audacity).
