Most media players have certain weaknesses. Some of them are not compatible with specific formats, some are too basic, while others are too complex. If you are looking for a good alternative, CD-Runner will meet your demands. It is an all in one package which includes a standard media player, as well as a CD, DVD and radio player. Its numerous functions allow you to rip CDs, record radio stations, apply different skins and adjust them and much more.

The 12 Mb package includes multiple files, which you need to extract. You will have to run an .exe file and follow a wizard's instruction to start installing the application. The process will not take long and you can choose to make CD-Runner your default application for audio CDs, DVDs or audio files.

If you run the software for the first time, you will have to make some initial configurations. A tabbed window will show up, where you can select a skin, theme, colors and other appearance settings, select your CD or DVD drives and more. The player's interface can look like a home or a car stereo, iPod or a touch pad. The application works like any other media player. After compiling a playlist, in the media library, you can play your music, change the volume, bring up an equalizer, spectrum analizer and so on.

CD-Runner offers more options than standard players. Besides the Next and Previous buttons and the playlist, you can use a series of buttons to switch between the first 20 tracks instantly. It is also possible to switch between different modes. The application can be a player for your audio files, a CD or DVD player, ripper or it can play live radio feeds.

The media, CD and radio players work exactly the same way and you can select them with a single click. CD-Runner comes with its own collection of radio stations, but you can add a new one yourself on its settings window. You may record radio feeds as well, by clicking the Record button, next to the playback options.

Pros

CD-Runner provides more features than standard media players. It also works as a CD or DVD player, ripper and radio player. It comes with various skins, which make the interface look like a real stereo or portable device. It is very comfortable to use and you can adjust almost any aspect.

Cons

You have to select your playlist, from the media library, each time you switch to the media player. If you want more from a media player, you can use CD-Runner. Its flexibility, ease of use and large array of features will satisfy all your needs.
