Instead of creating playlists, you simply aim it at a folder, hit the Play button, and it will automatically play all audio files in that folder. To create quick 'n dirty "playlists" simply copy groups of MP3s into a temporary folder and have 1by1 play them all. Tell the program to minimize itself to the tray as an icon and you will have as much background music as you could want without the player being "in your face".
Sound quality is excellent and, if you have the Winamp plugins, it will even play CDs, WAV files, etc. 1by1 has some nice little features that may go overlooked at first glance, like being able to use the mouse wheel for the volume control. Cool. While it might be nice to have M3U playlist support, 1by1 doesn't really need it as it does such a great job of simply playing all tracks in a folder. If you like listening to music while you work, grab a copy of this fantastic little audio player.
