Hokrain

Hokrain is a lightweight software tool that can be used in order to aid individuals in playing all their favorite songs, with support for a large number of formats.

Portability advantage

Since this utility is portable, it means you can easily bypass the installation process. As a consequence, the Windows registry is not going to be affected in any way and there will be no leftover files after its removal.

Clean interface

The interface you are met with encloses a modern and minimal design. It displays a folder structure, a list of all added songs, playback controls (pause/play, stop, next, previous) a volume bar and a waveform. Furthermore, it is non-obtrusive, as it can be sent to the system tray at any point. It is accessible to all user categories, even those with no previous experience with computers.

File types supported and assigning hotkeys

It supports quite a wide range of audio extensions, including WAV, APE, MAC, WMA, MPC, MID, FLAC, CDA, M4A, AC3, AAC, MP3, AIFF and OGG. Songs can be added by simply dropping items from the built-in tree view.
A large number of keyboard shortcuts is supported, and it is possible to customize them, from the settings panel. The main window also displays a few details about the audio track you are currently listening to, such as channels, bit rate and length. By double-clicking one of these items you open a new tab in your default web browser routing you to azlyrics.com.
