JetAudio

File:JetAudio_main_window_(Default_Gunmetal_Grey).png

JetAudio’s user interface is similar to earlier versions of Winamp in that it features separate windows for: playback, playlist and music library. Like Winamp, JetAudio can be minimized to a toolbar ( “Windowshade Mode”) by pressing the “Toolbar Mode ON/OFF” button in the upper right portion of the Main Window.

The interface includes a 10-band spectrum visualization which doubles as an equalizer. Different implementations of this spectrum visualization can be found in the Main Window, the Media Center, the Video Window, the Lyrics Viewer and the External Spectrum Viewer.

The JetAudio interface comprises the following windows:

• The Main Window
• The Media Center
• The Video Window
• The Lyrics Viewer
• The External Spectrum Viewer

JetAudio supports all major audio and video file formats, including for audio: MP3, AAC, FLAC and Ogg Vorbis, Monkey’s Audio, True Audio, Musepack and WavPack.

For video it supports the following formats: H.264, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MPEG-1, WMV and Ogg Theora.

JetAudio features a number of built-in sound effects, including:

• A 10-band non-parametric equalization filter
• BBE (exciter) and BBE ViVA (spatializer) sound effects
• “X-Bass” and “X-Surround”
• “Wide”
• Reverb
• Time stretching
• Pitch change
• A variety of other special effects, including:
• “Flange”
• “Invert Flange”
• “Robot 1”
• “Robot 2”
• “Slow chorus”
• “Phase shift”
• “Invert Phase Shift”

Like many other media player applications, JetAudio offers the option of displaying an animated visualization synchronized with music: MilkDrop, PixelTrip, Space and Synesthesia. Additional visualization plugins can be downloaded from external providers.

JetAudio has the ability to display both synchronized and unsynchronized lyrics to the music. Lyrics are displayed in the dedicated Lyrics Viewer window, along with the album art of the file and optionally a spectrum visualization.

JetAudio supports most Winamp plug-ins.

JetAudio also offers the following additional features:

• bookmarking the current position in a song
• looping a section of a song
• a dropdown on-screen display with configurable content
• a configurable “sleep timer” to shut down the computer after a set period of playback.

JetAudio 4’s graphical user interface was designed to look like a high-powered stereo rack and installed with an on-screen equalizer and remote control.

JetAudio 5, released in 2002, saw a major overhaul of the entire user interface and added support for skins.

JetAudio 6 was released in 2004.

JetAudio 7 (now also known as Cowon Media Center) was the first version of JetAudio to include BBE sound enhancement algorithms. The Consumers' Institute of New Zealand evaluated the Basic version and remarked that it “doesn’t have a plug-in for Firefox compatibility”, but judged the range of video and audio file formats supported as “good”.

• Conversion support for FLV and MKV files
