Systray Play

Chances are you don't rely on modern methods of multimedia playback, such as going online for a new song, and prefer to have an organized collection of songs to play regardless of your Internet connection. If this is the case, Systray Play is a practical, powerful audio player you might want to try out.

Lightweight and easy to use

One of the main advantages comes in the form of portability. This makes it possible to carry both the application and a collection of songs with you on a thumb drive to always have your favorite songs at hand. Moreover, runtime doesn't leave any traces because it doesn't make any changes to registry entries.
As the name might suggest, one of the core features is that it neatly sits in the tray area, leaving all the desktop to perform other activities. There is a minibar you can bring up to always have a set of controls at hand, but these are also available in the tray menu when interacting with the icon.

Manage playlist and assign hotkeys

File support isn't really an advantage, but you do have the option to enjoy popular formats like MP1, MP2, MP3, RMP, as well as existing playlist files under formats like M3U and PLS. There's a dedicated playlist window you can bring up to manage your tracks, with options to create new ones, shuffle playback, and enable repetition of already played songs.
There's also a rich set of configuration options to handle. It can take a bit of time to go through all of them, but it might come in handy to set up hotkey commands for most functions it can perform, manage plugins, automation, visualization, or even customize the visual design by changing fonts and colors used for its elements. Additionally, you can enhance sound through the equalizer, and save custom presets.

To sum it up

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Systray Play is a worthy audio player in case you're looking for somethings new. Flexibility lets you carry it around at all times, and even though file support leaves much to be desired, it's packed with a variety of features to tweak behavior and visuals to suit your style.
