Download musikCube 1.0

Casey Langen has finally released the highly anticipated version 1.0 of musikCube. musikCube is a no-nonsense music player, which can also be used to manage and organize the music collection. The program is based on the embedded SQL database engine sqlite, which makes it lightning fast. It also features ‘Dynamic playlists’, which automatically and randomly plays music based on your own listening style. The more you use it, the smarter musikCube gets. Furthermore, it features a built-in equalizer and CD ripper, and through plugins additional functionality and support for additional audio formats may be added. The release notes of this version are as follows:
