Apollo MP3 Player 37zk

Advertisement (Why?)

Supports WinAmp plugins and almost all the stuff that modern MP3 players should. Very efficient and easy to use GUI - no flashy graphics here though. Apollo has been around since 1998 and it's one of those programs that has a bunch of fanatic supporters.

Apollo 37zk with the following fixes and improvements:

the GUI doesnt look too long. It would be great for older computers, such win95/98. It looks like it would load fast.

Think Foobar is the same, only a much nice interface

#3.1 Solarix on 28 Jan 2005 - 21:29

pshh bother foobar and this ones interface suck

#4 Jexxster on 27 Jan 2005 - 15:06

My biggest complaint with Apollo is the exceedingly long time it takes to load if the playlist is large. I like to make my entire music library one playlist with thousands of entries and Apollo hangs noticeably on open. Don't have that problem with the exact same playlist in foobar or VU player.

Apollo is just so much slower than Foobar.

And Foobar has an amazing community.

#6 Magallanes on 27 Jan 2005 - 19:19

more ugly that foobar

i stick with winamp old-style skin.

#7 NyaR on 27 Jan 2005 - 23:11

doesnt have global hotkey support

#8 myxamatosis on 28 Jan 2005 - 00:06

Looks like an ugly foobar2000 clone, without all the features and plugins... not much to care about

It's not foobar clone. The player exist since 1998 and development pretty much finished so no new feature except bug fixes and minor improvements. The player really isn't for the mass as the author himself stated it's mostly for his own needs.

#10 finalcut on 28 Jan 2005 - 13:14

actually, foobar copied apollo!
apollo been there way before foobar
it's just that the apollo coder specified at the very begining that he was doing this app for him only and didnt take any request
so basically, foobar programmer spent way more time in foobar than apollo's programmer

pfffft, if I need a super simple mp3 player i'll use Billy, not this.

I'm an avid foobar fan, but I'll give this a try.
