JetAudio
JetAudio is a multimedia player application developed by Cowon America, Inc. (formerly Cowon Systems, Inc.). It is known for its comprehensive features, including audio and video playback, recording, conversion, burning, and internet broadcasting. Initially released in 1997, JetAudio was a popular shareware program often bundled with sound cards and other computer hardware.
The software supports a wide range of audio and video formats, including MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, WMA, AVI, and MP4. It also incorporates audio enhancement features such as BBE (Bass Boost Effect) and JetEffect, which provide customizable audio processing options.
JetAudio is available in both a free (Basic) version and a paid (Plus) version, with the latter offering additional features such as enhanced audio codecs, video encoding capabilities, and advanced editing tools. Over the years, JetAudio has evolved to include functionality such as CD ripping, tag editing, and podcast management. Its interface is customizable through skins and plugins, allowing users to tailor the program to their preferences. While its popularity has waned somewhat in the era of streaming services, JetAudio remains a functional and versatile option for users who prefer a standalone multimedia player.
