Today I would like to introduce you to another audio player for Windows. As I understand it, the developer originally wrote this for his own use but has decided to share it. I am very glad that is the case.
The player is called FastPlay, so if you've been paying attention as to what is going on, you will know that this comes from the same developer as the social media client Fast-SM, which many of us are now using. That tells us two things: the app is going to be excellent and suggestions are very much considered.

This is a very small, lightweight, audio player. That means it is designed to be a small file size to download. That is important. I downloaded an app recently which contained approximately 5000 files comprising 500 MB which was absolutely crazy for the job at hand. This is just over 2 MB in size.
In order to describe some of its features, I can do no better than quote from the Readme file.
Fastplay is a very lightweight, simple, yet powerful and flexible media player for Windows. It is designed to be accessible, minimalistic, yet powerful, all at the same time. It is also very small, and fast and responsive.
Note! Fastplay is not designed to be a replacement for a complete media player. Rather, it's designed to be a small, lightweight media player that you can either use seriously or for fun! It has a vast list of effects including an EQ, reverb, echo, tempo/pitch, stereo width, and more, which you can adjust in realtime. End of quote.
I think that may have been the case when that statement was written, but it has evolved into including some very nice options indeed, such as:
Completely configurable Global hotkeys.
The ability to have the screen-reader speak events through keystrokes, such as elapsed time, remaining time etc, Control+Shift+E and Control+Shift+R.
Load all files in folder when pressing Enter.
You are able to set default file types. All of these are achieved through the Options dialog and there is an extraordinary amount of configuration in there.
Bookmarking of playback position in files.
A Radio menu currently allowing you to add stations if you have the URL. Searching for stations using various sources is also available. RadioBrowser is a very good starting point.
The ability to record the output from stations. This is a nice one. Some of us have used Tapin Radio for this previously. But the accessibility of that over the years has been somewhat questionable. Of course FastPlay is completely accessible. Not only that, but you can schedule recordings too.
It is possible to search for (and subscribe to) podcasts using Apple's iTunes directory. The vast majority of podcasts can be found there. The facility to add specific URL's pointing to podcast feeds can also be added.
There are many more features which you can explore and customise through the options, activated with Control+Comma.
End of Part 1.

lifehack: use IPv6 addresses as passwords: they have letters, numbers, special characters, can contain caps, and are long enough.

If you accidentally paste it somewhere noone will suspect a thing.

Bonushack: you can put a label in DNS as a password reminder!
