A media player application
Free MP3 Player is a simple playback application that allows you to play audio files. It stands as a great, lightweight alternative to other, more sophisticated and pricier solutions.
Straightforward
Free MP3 Player is ideal for desktop users who don't feel like bothering with complex music player systems.
Considering that it is also, as the name suggests, 100% free of charge, it can be a useful addition to your tool bundle, especially compared to more costly alternatives.

This program is as straightforward. It is lightweight and features a streamlined UI excellent for users of all experience levels.
The interface itself mirrors the familiar layout of the standard, built-in Windows Media Player. Like with another tool famous for its simplicity, Billy, it favours speed to configurability, offering little customization options.
Despite its name, this player is also capable of playing MP4 files as well. It handles all types of MP3 audio with extreme ease.
You can adjust default settings, such as file names and automatic playback, as well as create playlists and organize your contents into sections for ease of access.
You can choose this program as your default player. However, it won't run in the background, but remain inactive until you access an MP3 file.
This program works with Windows OS only - you could try Songbird for cross-platform functionality.
The lightweight feature is vital for its compatibility. You can use Free MP3 Player on Windows PCs working on OS versions 8 and lower. So, the weight and the fact it doesn't keep running in the background make it ideal for lower-memory, older devices.
A no-frills package
While there’s not much more to the app than what’s stated in the title, Free MP3 Player does what it promises quite well. It is an excellent alternative for people who don’t need the extra features of VLC Media Player and similar prominent options, but only a straightforward music player.
