MP3 Players

The AAVSO does not endorse any particular MP3 player. Most new Windows systems can play MP3s with the built-in Media Player. Most Apple machines can play MP3s using the built-in Quick Time player. Linux users can use mpg123, which is installed in most distributions by default. Below are some external players which are popular and frequently provide more features than players that come with your OS.

• Freeamp: For Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP and Linux systems
• iTunes: For Apple systems
