Revision history

In 1997, the first version of Cowon jetAudio player on the market and thus ended the first success on the international market. The program was after only three months at ZDNet, CNET and TUCOWS # 1 in the rankings. In 1998, Cowon jetAudio for several national and international awards.

Originally jetAudio was designed as a pure audio player for the semi-professional market. In the course of evolution, it became a full-fledged all-round media player.

Up to and including version 4, the common concept of a modular structure was retained. Wave, MIDI, tracker formats and audio CDs were separated from each other and can be started simultaneously from the surface. Until then, was incorporated as an additional operating aid a software remote control.

With version 5, the operating concept was radically changed, so that it was now comparable with the operation of other media players. However, it retained the enhanced audio capabilities, which were significantly enhanced in Version 6 by additional filters and effects, and more audio intervention. Many audio tools have been permanently installed at the time, which jetAudio has become an all-round audio tool.

Since version 6, there is a media center, which replaces the previous album function.

In the course of development history, the spelling of the name jetAudio has been changed again and again: since version 4.x jetAudio is considered to be the correct spelling, the notation previously used were jetaudio jet and audio.

Surfaces ( skins)

The surface of jetAudio can be freely exchanged by using different skins against other available surfaces. So you can visually customize the player to your own taste. There is here the possibility of so-called FreeForm designs. This means that both the form and size of the surface can be designed freely. A skin consists of graphics, fonts and scripts, where all features of the surface such as position information, these functions will be registered.
