Favorites manager:
Why have all favorites in a single huge unorganized list? Do you want to have a separate list for your favorite radio stations, an individual list for the best songs ever, and so on... just like the favorites manager in your browser, but for songs.
Spider Player 2.3 includes new advanced Favorites Manager with improved user interface, support for custom categories and comments, so you can have your favorites organized the way you want.
DSP Manager:
Many of you have requested the Digital Sound Processing effects support in Spider Player. This latest version has such support.
Third-party developers can now write high-quality 32-bit DSP plugins for Spider Player. The SDK is available here .
Spider Player itself comes with the DSP Manager which allows to apply several DSP effects simultaneously in any order!
And the fact that DSP effects are 32-bit, means that there is no degradation of quality when the sound passes through a DSP chain. For compatibility, 8/16-bit DSPs are supported too, in such case "32-bit sound processing" must be turned off in Spider Player's options.
This version also comes with Winamp DSP wrapper - a special DSP plugin which makes use of Winamp DSPs with Spider Player possible! Thanks go to George Boudouris. Originally written by George for Passion Audio Player this plugin have been modified to work with Spider Player.
New versions of sound engine and input plugins:
Spider Player 2.3 stays on the edge of technology and uses the latest version of BASS audio library to date.
