QuuxPlayer Standard Edition 2.1.7.8

QuuxPlayer Standard Edition 2.1.7.8  is a powerful tool which delivers a clean, well-organized and almost infinitely customizable audio player interface, in a small, no-nonsense package for people who just want to listen to music. Quux has done away with the emphasis on skins, visualizations, and other irrelevant features and stressed playback quality and ease-of-use over visual bling. Audiophiles will appreciate the built-in support for virtually every audio format, as well as Media Center-friendly features that make it easy to browse your music library from across the room with a wireless gamepad. The program also downloads album art, song lyrics, album and band information upon request, and displays them in a clutter-free, clean user interface
