The Mercury Audio Player is definitely an audio player that is out of this world. The interface should be simple enough for you, because it looks like Winamp did before it added all the junk features. So how does the Mercury Audio Player stand up to the other big boys in the audio department? I would say it stands up just fine.

Here is what the folks at the Mercury Audio Player Web site had to say about the player:

The idea for Mercury was born out of a love of music and a desire for simplicity.

When was the last time you read on a software company’s website that a program was considered complete? Can’t remember? Neither can we. Instead, a trend has risen. A trend that prefers adding more and more to the current software compilation instead of deeming the project finished. A trend that would rather see countless features in a never-ending list instead of keeping things simple and to the point. A trend that insists they do too much.

Some of the features of the Mercury Audio Player includes: fully Shoutcast compatible streaming audio, universal ID3v1 tag support, ID3v1 tag editor, video playback, CD audio support, fullscreen video mode, freeform skin support, no skin mode, auto media resume upon launch, auto playback (alarm clock mode), A-B looping, three-way repeat, integrated playlist editor, integrated search mode for playlist editor, and support for almost all major audio and video formats.

When a program has features that I have no clue about, you know it must be good. So give the Mercury Audio Player a shot if you are looking for a different way of receiving your audio experiences.
