GOM Audio review
A free local player with broad format support, lyrics, playlists and podcast radio.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
GOM Audio is a free music player for listening to local audio files on Windows and Android. It suits listeners who want more than basic playback: the feature set includes playlist management, an equalizer, synced lyrics and podcast radio. The Windows version supports a range of audio and playlist formats, while Android adds library organization and access to cloud storage. Its focus is personal music playback rather than a broader, cross-platform music library service.
Format and playlist support are a notable strength for people with varied local collections. Documented audio formats include MP3, FLAC, WAV, AAC, Opus, WMA, OGG and AIFF; playlist files include ASX, M3U, M3U8 and PLS. Listeners can create, manage and order playlists, edit file information such as title, album art, lyrics and genre, and view or edit synced lyrics. Podcast radio can be streamed and broadcasts saved. These features make it a better fit for users who value control over files and metadata than for listeners seeking a narrowly focused player with only basic playback.
The platform split matters: GOM Audio is available for Windows and Android, and the cloud connections—Dropbox, Google Drive, WebDAV and FTP—are described for Android. The Android library can be organized by preference, artist, album or folder. That is useful for a mobile collection, but users wanting the same cloud access or library organization across platforms may prefer another option. GOM Audio is a sensible pick for Windows and Android listeners who want local files, radio and lyrics at no charge; it is less suitable for those who need wider platform coverage or a unified library across devices.
