Looper

Audio si a well-integrated part of our daily lives, be it to simply help us relax, to give more meaning to presentations, or as cool background effects. Regardless of the activity in question, you need to rely on an audio player to meet your demands, and Looper is the one which can endlessly play an audio file of choice.

Comprehensive set of playback controls

You might want to know, before anything else, that the application isn’t packed inside an installer, so it’s safe to say you can even deploy it on a USB flash drive if you want to carry it with you and use on other computers than your own. More than this, it doesn’t affect the stability of the target PC, because registry entries are not altered in the process.
The application doesn’t really put much emphasis on visuals, but this isn’t even the point of it all. Things are intuitive enough, with comprehensive controls, and various info displayed to help you out. Playback controls let you easily initiate and stop playback sessions, while the progress slider lets you jump to parts of interest.

File support and related options

Adding files is either done through a drag and drop operation, or using the browse dialog. Supported formats include MP3, MP2, MP1, OGG, OGA, WAV, AIFF, AIFC, MO3, XM, MOD, and more. However, playback is limited to a single file, so you might want to make sure it’s a consistent one, especially if you use it for background audio.
There are several options to mingle with, and they can provide a bit more functionality. You can choose to have it launched and minimized to the tray area, start playback on startup, and allow multiple application instances. Sadly, you can’t route audio to a custom output device, which makes the multiple instance option rather obsolete.

To end with

All things considered, we can state that Looper is a nifty little audio player, but not the one you need in order to relax or enjoy an entire collection of songs. It mostly comes in handy if you want to create a cool audio environment based on a large song which can perfectly play on and on.
