@MAX Tray Player is a small, easy to use but also fairly powerful multimedia player. It is designed for those who like to listen to music while working on the computer. It embeds itself into Windows taskbar virtually becoming a part of Windows.
The standard media player that ships with Windows does a good job. It's free and it supports a range of media formats. However, as with virtually any free software, it has a downside. Its developers have concentrated on how to make some profit by selling media and not how to get you buying the player itself. This is probably the main reason why the default Windows media player is so slow. When you start it, it connects to the Internet, loads advertising and more.
It's time to think about a good replacement! @MAX Tray Player is intended for everyday use. Do you like to listen to background music when working with other Windows applications? Then @MAX Tray Player is for you. It embeds Player bar into Windows taskbar virtually becoming a part of Windows.
