Métis is a very obscure MP3 player created by AudioNetworks to showcase their DASE technology, meant to improve sound quality of files that passed through compression.

It remains to be seen if this technology provides any actual improvements to MP3 files' sound quality (the player itself uses the XAudio playback engine).

The player sports a quite minimalistic and ugly interface. Nothing is configurable other than appearance. At least it features playlists...

As far as I know, only version 1.0 was released and the player never saw any update.

Big thanks to Zachary Jelesoff for introducing me to Métis.
