Quod Libet 3.5.1 + Portable

Quod Libet is a cross-platform audio player which helps individuals listen to songs, create and save playlists to the hard drive, and edit metadata.

The installation process is over in a few seconds, and brings you to a clear-cut interface, which allows both novice and power users to find their way around it, with great ease. It consists of a menu bar, several playback controls (play/pause, next and previous), and a few panels to display the uploaded items.

It is possible to add files and entire directories using the built-in file browser, or the “drag and drop” function. They are going to be displayed in the main window, along with their title, album, and total length.

You can insert ratings (from 0 to 1, or from 0 stars to 5), filter songs according to title, album and artist, or randomize their order, as well as add them to the queue list or to a playlist.

This software program enables you to view information pertaining to a selected file, such as total duration, bit rate, size on disk, last modified date and time, and number of times it has been played. You can create and append lyrics, add songs to favorites, edit tags, jump to a particular picture, use a search function and change the view method.

From the settings panel you can control the visible columns, enable one-click ratings, enable ReplayGain, add folders to the Library and auto-save tag changes.

In conclusion, Quod Libet is a handy piece of software for playing your music and editing its information. It has a good response time, an intuitive interface and does not burden your computer’s performance. If you want to bypass the installation process, you should know there is also a portable version you can take advantage of, Portable Quod Libet.
