Sonique

[roasty]

Anyone else have fond memories of this program?

 

Sonique is an audio player application released as freeware for Microsoft Windows, capable of handling MP3, Ogg Vorbis, Microsoft Windows Media, audio CDs, and more.

At the time when Sonique was still under development, until 2002 it was one of the most popular desktop audio players, 2nd only to Nullsoft's Winamp audio player. The major features that made Sonique famous were its use of irrectangularly-shaped skins for its user interface, the audioEnlightenment mp3 decoding engine by Tony Million, innovative audio visualizations, and a powerful graphic equalizer.

I remember you could change pitch without changing tempo in that. Great fun was had playing with the pop and rock music I was listening to back then.

Of course it was terrible, but nostalgia has a way of making everything rose-tinted.

 

It did have pretty visuals
