DéKiBulle is a skinnable minimalist audio player that resides in the system tray. This directory-based player works best if you have your music files grouped by folders/subfolders named after the artist and/or album. Hotkeys are used extensively to control the player. Where possible, DéKiBulle uses relative paths when saving the playlist.
To add music, right-click and choose 'Manage folders'.

I agree with Woko in the sense that a menu of loaded platlist with the possibility to load and unload play lists to the menu do not exist. This is a very important item I hope there will be fixed in nexts updates. Great program!

@two who are you to call @Realist a troll ? WTF seems a person that flames is a troll, IMHO he was just giving his take on the software review, which I happen to agree with, so am I also a "TROLL"? Sound=music is a very subjective matter which I have heard being discussed since the "4 track" days, as the saying goes one mans junk is another mans gold... at least that's the saying. Try and lighten up on the name calling as it serves no useful purpose here.

I was looking for a player with this kind of track visualisation (foobar+addon can do it too, but just isn't great as a directory player). It's very useful if you have many recordings and looking to find certain events within them. I'd consider buying pro, but the price is quite a bit too steep for an audio player. It's more expensive than Reaper, or Renoise, and those are full fledged DAWs. I'd suggest getting ocenaudio for anyone that wants some extra functionality after finding the right audioclip with the free version of this. It's a nice combo. |

Unfortunately, the developer does not offer any evaluation copy where you can try the feature before buying. And I already had a bad experience with a paid program that turned out to be an alpha version full of bugs
