Ready-to-use audio player without complicated setup.
Boom is a lightweight and fast audio player which supports formats like MP3, OGG, AIFF and MP4 files.
The overall design of the program is pretty minimalistic and includes little in terms of features when compared to other programs like Winamp or AIMP.
As a portable application, installation of Boom is not necessary and you can run the software from anywhere really.
Since it's designed as a minimalistic audio player, there are few controls apart from the typical playback controls like Next, Previous, Stop, Pause, Play. It does, however include album art of currently playing tracks.
Overall, Boom is a fast and lightweight audio player which leaves many unneeded features behind which improves performance and reduces CPU hogging.
