JetAudio for Android is available as a free, “Basic” version and a paid “Plus” version, which removes advertising banners unsynchronized lyrics to the music.[3]
The commercial “Plus VX” version of the application includes unlocked sound enhancement algorithms and a wide range of file format support, as well as the ability to transcode more than 30 seconds of video files.[4]
The Main Window in JetAudio 8.0.17 wearing the “Default Gunmetal Grey” skin.
JetAudio’s user interface is similar to earlier versions of Winamp in that it features separate windows for: playback, playlist and music library. Like Winamp, JetAudio can be minimized to a toolbar ( “Windowshade Mode”) by pressing the “Toolbar Mode ON/OFF” button in the upper right portion of the Main Window.
The interface includes a 10-band spectrum visualization which doubles as an equalizer. Different implementations of this spectrum visualization can be found in the Main Window, the Media Center, the Video Window, the Lyrics Viewer and the External Spectrum Viewer.
Like many other media player applications, JetAudio offers the option of displaying an animated visualization synchronized with music: MilkDrop, PixelTrip, Space and Synesthesia. Additional visualization plugins can be downloaded from external providers.
JetAudio has the ability to display both synchronized and unsynchronized lyrics to the music. Lyrics are displayed in the dedicated Lyrics Viewer window, along with the album art of the file and optionally a spectrum visualization.
On 24 May 2012 (2012-05-24), “JetAudio for Android,” mobile version was released.[5]
Initially, the app included the same BBE sound effects found in the desktop version of JetAudio, but these were removed in version 1.0.2 on 8 June 2012 (2012-06-08).[6]
JetAudio 4’s graphical user interface was designed to look like a high-powered stereo rack and installed with an on-screen equalizer and remote control.
JetAudio 7 (now also known as Cowon Media Center) was the first version of JetAudio to include BBE sound enhancement algorithms. The Consumers' Institute of New Zealand evaluated the Basic version and remarked that it “doesn’t have a plug-in for Firefox compatibility”, but judged the range of video and audio file formats supported as “good”.
The JetAudio 8.1 Preview was released for download on the JetAudio Forums on 16 November 2011 (2011-11-16). New features introduced in the Preview include:[7]
Menus of MC/Playlist were changed
Playcount column added in MC

On 2 May 2011 (2011-05-02), Cowon announced the release of JetVideo,[8]amedia player program with features which partially overlap with those of JetAudio. Like JetAudio, it relies on external codecs (such as those included in the K-Lite Codec Pack) for some of its data decoding.
