1By1 Lightweight MP3 Player
Many software mp3 players are bloated with features that most users rarely use or even know of. 1By1 is a small, resource-saving software mp3 player - the size of the player is only about 100K. It offers some interesting features that are worth a closer look.
The mp3 player supports everything that you would expect from a music player. It supports the most important audio files types, can play playlists, features playback controls and even has a few aces up its sleeve like support for Winamp 2.x plugins or Bass decoder library support.
It can play all mp3 files that reside in a folder directly, but also supports playlists if you prefer that. It is not the only player that can do that though, AIMP for instance can also play all mp3 files of a folder directly without long-winded operation.
The player may not look like much visually, but that is not really something that a lot of users will be concerned with. What's more important is that it is really easy to select the songs that you want to play using the player. It displays all system and network folders on the left side that you can browse. Compatible files are automatically displayed when you switch folders. From there, it is only a matter of clicking on the play button to get started.
The main toolbar may be intimidating at first, as it is not always clear what the icons there do when you look at them. A small tooltip is displayed when you hover over them, and that's what you should do to get accustomed to the player.
It is resource-friendly, which is extremely important on older systems where you want to play music in the background while doing something else on the system in the foreground.

The warning message about AAC streams when you load streams is because you don’t have the free Orban AAC/aacPlus Player Plugin installed.

Justin, thanks for the information.
does this support AAC ? or only mp3 streaming
I’d say it supports all pls streams but I have not tried that so cannot verify it 100%.
Thank you Martin for a most informative and viable solution (it allowed me to play streams from a Netherland internet radio station in my WMP)! Continued success to you!

Your steps’ recommendation is still valid until 7th October 2012.. Thank you very much !!
Thank you!
You must convert file.pls to file.m3u
because file.pls open with winamp and file.m3u open with wmp.
Hi
2017 still kicking on Windows 7
Thx a ton
Hey, even i can do it, i stumbled through it and it works great! The only instruction advice i will add as i had to figure this out, when the wmp box opens that says save or open the bar on right says wmp click that drop down and select “open pls in wmp” once you do that it will work . Took me quite some time to discover that as i am no computer expert by any means. Having said that, previously i had downloaded codec packages and something about aac. None did any good. This rocks, i listen to a lot of internet radio and a number of them have dropped flash player and getting wmp to work had been a nightmare. So many thanks for this great solution to another problem that Micro-Hell will not even address. Peace- Out
openplsinwmp came in a zip file. I unpacked it, and didn’t find anything that looks like an executable, and even the files in the “doc” folder were in a format windows didn’t recognize. I’m not stupid. you said it would open effortlessly. It didn’t. This a rabbit hole I don’t want to go down.
