There’s something about the sound of a good beat and the feeling of skin on skin that just makes my heart race. I love going to music festivals, and there’s nothing like being surrounded by people who are also into music. There are so many different ways to enjoy music, and it doesn’t have to be just about listening to it on a headphones or in your car. There are so many different ways to enjoy skin, too. You can go out and buy some new makeup or clothes that feature skin-friendly materials, or you can try out some new skincare products that are designed specifically for your skin type. There’s no need to be afraid of trying new things – there’s always something new out there that you can enjoy. If you’re looking for some ideas on what to try next, check out our list of the best music and skin possibilities.

It officially supports Windows 2000-Vista 32 and 64bit versions and I had no trouble using it with Windows 7.  If you are looking for a new and fun to use audio player on your PC then check out Xion Audio Player.
