What is Final Media Player?
Final Media Player is a media player for Windows that supports more than 80 types of audio and video files. Everything needed is included in the setup program. No obscure codecs needed. Just install and you are ready to play your file.
A compact, straightforward tool, the Final Media Player is a 100% free software that can play a variety of formats straight out of the installation, without the hassle of installing additional codecs and fiddling around with their settings, which could cause problems for your computer if improperly done. This is especially true if your only media player is Windows Media Player, which recognizes only a pitiful amount of music and video formats, and needs a truckload of codecs to play files such as MKV.
The Final Media Player addresses that situation, and can play the following formats: MP4, MPEG, MPG, RM, RMVB, AVI, ASF, 3GP, WMV, MKV, FLV, and more, plus music and sound formats such as MP3, MP2, WMA, WAV, OGG, AC3, AAC, FLAC, M4A, and a whole lot of others. In fact, you can actually play almost any kind of media file at it, and the Final Media Player can play it, easily and quickly. In addition, the installation file is small, the process it takes up takes only a little out of your system, and does not come with 'bloat' that increases its size. It is also fully free without any limitations.

Sonique is an audio player application released as freeware for Microsoft Windows, capable of handling MP3, Ogg Vorbis, Microsoft Windows Media, audio CDs, and more.
Sonique was under development until 2002. It was one of the most popular desktop audio players, second only to Nullsoft's Winamp audio player. The major features of Sonique included support for irregular skins, the audioEnlightenment MP3 decoding engine by Tony Million, innovative audio visualizations, and a 20 band graphic equalizer.
History[edit]
Sonique had roots in the lesser known Vibe MP3 player created by Andrew McCann, Ian Lyman and Paul Peavyhouse, students at Montana State University working together under the name Night5, a reference to the speed limit signs used in Montana.[1]
In 1997, Night55 sold the rights to Vibe to SGS Thompson to use in COMDEX '98 to showcase some DVD features. After selling the rights to Vibe, Andrew McCann and Ian Lyman began work on a more comprehensive MP3 player which they named Sonique. Sonique debuted in January 1998 at the first annual MP3 Summit to enormous excitement, receiving several acquisition offers the same day.[2] Shortly after the MP3 Summit, Lyman and McCann returned to their hometown of Bozeman, Montana and formed Mediascience, Inc., leasing office space in a former coffee shop and bringing on additional staff to help with management, development, and support of the burgeoning user base. These early hires included Al-Riaz Adatia, Nicholas Vinen, Pol Llovet and Tony Million. In 1999, after talks with both Yahoo and Lycos,[3] Mediascience (now named Internet Music Distribution, Inc.) was sold to Lycos for US$38.8 million.[4] Shortly after the Lycos acquisition, the Sonique team began work on Sonique 2, a totally new version of the player application intended to become a platform for listening to, organizing and purchasing digital music.[citation needed] Setup application download.
After Lycos was acquired by Terra Networks, S.A. in mid-2001, the collapse of the dot-com bubble caused the entire Sonique team to be laid off, with the exception of McCann and Lyman. Unhappy with the summary termination of their colleagues, McCann and Lyman left shortly thereafter and were replaced with a smaller team based out of Lycos corporate headquarters. Because of an internal shift in priorities, the updated version of Sonique was never completed. An alpha and later a beta version of Sonique 2 was eventually released.
Design[edit]
Final Media Player Review
Sonique fused a highly stylized aesthetic with a fluid, windowless interface and fully animated menu systems. Additional functionality included a basic playlist editor, a variety of unique output visualization modes via plug-ins, and a robust control set featuring pitch, balance and amplification adjustment, as well as a 20-band equalizer with spline-based level adjustment. It supported many audio formats, including MP3, MP2, OggVorbis, WAV, MOD, XM, IT, S3M, Audio CD and Windows Media Audio. Further audio and visual formats were playable through various plugins, for example AVI video files. Sonique could also be used to listen to audio streams.
Is Final Media Player Safe
Sonique's look and feel could be completely customized via skins.
Sonique's bundled test audio file featured a song snippet by Mamasutra entitled 'Sonique Theme', with the comment field in the MP3 saying 'Its so good, so good, so good,' mirroring part of the lyrics.
