Assuming Windows, I think Sound Recorder should have worked. I remember wasting many hours just playing with it by reversing, speeding up, or slowing down my voice that I recorded on the old, beige Bob Barker-like standing microphone.
It would not have been able to play mp3s or anything but a .wav file.
You kids and your fancy MP3s. In my day we used Real Audio, uphill both ways.
Yuck... Real player. What about vivo player? Somehow was even worse!
TBF RealAudio typically used a 200:1 compression ratio, which nothing can survive. Tiny files, at least.
Well, yeah, but it was the player software itself that sucked so bad. It could've easily been less bloated but for years they added more and more bloat. Even an old slow computer shouldn't be struggling hard just to open a damned audio player.
