Review:

Evil Player is a donationware music player with a very small memory footprint. It's not pretty like other players but it gets the job done. Just add a folder and play your songs. Unfortunately Evil Player doesn't support tags when viewing your playlist which can suck if you only use tags and keep your song's filenames all messed up. Evil player supports a wide variety of formats out of the box and you can even add more trough a plugins pack that is available for download. Oh besides playing music you can stream and record radio streams which is something that i have no use for however someone might like that. Finally Evil Player has last.fm support built-in which is great and something that more music players should have because i use last.fm a lot.
Evil Player used a little over 1Mb when playing music minimized to the system tray in my system which is awesome compared to other bloated software like Itunes. Oh and you can carry it around on your pendrive since Evil Player is fully portable. So in conclusion i liked this program even tough it's ugly because it's lightweight and it gets the job done. Available for all versions of Windows.
