Among portable programs, a very important category is that of mp3 players, the software that plays mp3 files and allows you to listen to music on your computer . I remember that a portable or "portable" program is software whose installation procedure does not write anything between the Windows registry keys and copies the files into a single folder (possibly with subfolders).
The program is portable in the sense that this folder with installed files can be moved and copied to a USB stick and the program works on any computer.
Carrying portable programs on your personal USB stick, you can always have your software operating environment at hand, even if you are working on a university computer, at work, at school, at a friend's house or in a an internet point.
An audio program, a portable mp3 player, which reads and plays mp3 files allows you to always have your list of ordered music at your fingertips, and to hear it from any computer .
In the list of the best portable programs to copy to USB stick, only the Winamp portable is named among the audio players.
In this article, we see perhaps better programs than Winamp, taking a cue from the list of the best audio players, adapted here to see the portable ones, which work wonderfully if copied on a USB stick and which are very light.
I hope that after this further list there is no longer anyone who uses Windows medai player to listen to music and mp3!
1) CoolPlayer Portable is the smallest mp3 player software in terms of size, just 1 MB to download and 1.5 MB of space occupied on the USB stick.
It is a very light software, with an interface in Italian, which has been downloaded by 2 million people to date.
CoolPlayer + Portable MP3 works well to play music to listen and also acts as a Wav recorder; it also supports internet audio streaming and Winamp output plugins.
2) 1by1 is a terribly essential audio player that has no playlist or open file function but is based on reading the audio files found in the WIndows folders.
So basically it works well if you organize mp3 files into a specific folder and 1by1 works as a resource explorer, where you navigate to that folder and you can listen to all the files included in it.
This is not convenient when used on a PC normally but if the mp3 files are inside the USB stick then it becomes an interesting and quick option to use.
For usability reasons, it is best to put all MP3s in one folder.
This software is a 200 Kbyte download and has almost no memory consumption when running.
3) Songbird Portable is the portable version of a rather famous and big player.
Songbird is Mozilla's mp3 player program and is a complete media player for watching movies and videos.
By itself, SongBird occupies 65MB on the USB stick so it becomes advisable only if you want a complete software for the multimedia management of the USB support, so in case you have to manage many mp3s of many different genres.
4) AIMP2 is perhaps the best Winamp-like and best portable mp3 player program.
This program was born portable from birth, that is, once you download it, you can install it in any folder or USB stick.
AIMP2 works very well, reads all audio formats and is also nice to see with a very light and pleasant interface in Italian.
In the face of such lightness, AIMP2 is a very powerful audio program that can convert audio files between different formats, record, edit and edit mp3 file tags and organize different types of playlists.
It also supports a large number of plugins and encoders.
Beautiful the fact that it resizes during playback, disappearing from the screen with the play and pause button that you put near the clock in the lower right.
5) For different functionalities, Foobar may be preferred, a software celebrated by many multimedia expert sites.
During installation, Foobar asks whether to carry out the normal one or to install it in a portable version.
As an mp3 player it is phenomenal because it also manages to play files that are inside a .rar or .zip archive.
6) A light MP3 Player is Hokrain, a free portable audio player for Windows that supports a wide range of functions, despite its simplicity.
The music player supports a wide range of music files, including mp3, flac, ogg, wav, mpa, wav and dozens of other formats.
You can use the player on a PC, you can also add a music DVD, a CD or a USB flash drive to carry around to listen to music on any other Windows computer.
The player uses approximately 6 MB of RAM when playing music.
7) XMPlay is a portable mp3 player with crossfading (one track ends and the other starts without interruptions), audio leveling of the music and a light and clear interface.
8) Ubiquitous Player is a multifunctional portable program that allows you to view images, manage notes, view videos and, above all, listen to music and listen to audio files of all kinds.
The music player has pretty much everything the average user needs to hear a collection of songs, organize them into playlists and view the album cover.
Even without surprising with special effects, it is an mp3 player that has everything you need, which can also be used on a computer as a favorite and default music player
