Gateway151 Karaoke Zip Player

Gateway151 Karaoke Zip Player is a lightweight Windows application built specifically for helping you play MP3 files and compressed audio items (MP3 and CD+G karaoke files). The tool is able to process the audio data with Winamp’s aid, so you need to have the media player installed on your computer otherwise you cannot access the program’s functions.

Clean looks

Simplicity is the word that best describes the user interface. You may add audio files into the working environment using the built-in browse button or drag-and-drop support.
All audio items are listed in the primary panel along with only a few details about each track, such as artist, title, and file type. With a double-click mouse operation on the desired track, the program automatically starts playing it.

Media controls

Gateway151 Karaoke Zip Player gives you the possibility to play, pause, or stop the current audio selection, jump to the previous or next track, go to the first or last file, as well as repeat or shuffle the audio files.
What’s more, you may adjust the volume, alter the pitch, view the total or elapsed time, create playlists and export them to GPL file format, clear the playlist with just one click, reset the pitch, as well as use hotkeys (they cannot be reassigned) in order to perform fast operations.

Bottom line

All things considered, Gateway151 Karaoke Zip Player offers a simple software solution when it comes to helping you play MP3 files and compressed audio items (MP3 and CD+G karaoke files), and is suitable especially for less experienced users. On the downside, it hasn’t been updated for while, so it may cause compatibility issues on newer operating systems.
