Most of the music players used today come with video playback capabilities. The preference is observed to prevent any additional software installed that could cause cluttering in the system. Applications that have the ability to play music and videos also come in as lightweight to prevent the application from becoming a memory hog.

But that doesn’t mean standalone music players are dead or obsolete. Moo0 (Moo and the Number 0) Audio Player is a great example that a standalone music player could still be useful. This free application from Moo0.com makes everything simple. The interface is only composed of essentials – playlist, audio playback controls, volume, progress bar and a small message to inform the users if the application is ready to play. Customization is only limited to skins wherein you can change the color of the interface. Loading music could be done by dragging the music in the playlist and enabling them to play is fast depending on the activity on the local gadget.

Controls could be done either by the use of mouse or arrows which is automatically activated when the player is on top. The unique control of the application is on its CTRL + Left or Right cursors which are used to forward or back in seconds.

The only downside of the application is its limited availability on OS (Operating System). The current version (v. 1.31) is only available for Windows XP and the developers are strongly cautioning users not to use the player in non-XP Operating Systems.
