Includes a sleek and stylish interface
The utility comes with an appealing interface that displays a list of songs, albums, genres, artists, and playlists in alphabetical order. Therefore, if you want to listen to a song you have in your head, but you can only remember the name or artist vaguely, you can find the track by searching the lists at the corresponding letter.
While most of the UI is dedicated to music organization, the player is located in the lower section of the screen and comes with the basic play, forward, backward, pause, loop and stop options. It is necessary to mention that you can minimize the interface so that you can only view the track that is currently playing.
Smart Playlist
Smart Playlist is a new feature of Dopamine 2.0 to create playlists based on criteria that you specify. Go to Playlists > New Playlist > Smart playlist to create a new smart playlist in the program.
Select one or multiple criteria for the playlist, e.g. a rating of at least four stars, the genre Heavy Metal, the year 1984, to have Dopamine create a playlist based on those criteria.
Use as few or as many criteria that you want in the Smart Playlist creation window. All that is left then is to select the song limit for the playlist and decide whether the songs need to meet all or any one criteria.
Smart Playlists are not dynamic at this point in time and it is not clear whether that feature will be added to the function later on. Dynamic would simply create a new playlist based on the selected criteria on user request or even automatically depending on settings.
The folder browser is just that: an option to browse all folders that you have added to the program. It offers another option to browse the music collection from within the application’s interface.
Dopamine 2.0 supports most of the features of previous versions of the music player already. You can use it to fetch lyrics from the Internet, for instance, to display them while music plays.
Tip: check out music player alternatives such as AIMP, MusicBee or one of these.
Enables quick search, but it could use more features
The highlight of the application stems from the multiple methods it displays the data. In fact, it includes a separate tab for all metadata information, a feature that can come in handy when you are searching for a particular artist or song.
On the other hand, the application could use a few editing options that would permit you to equalize the sound, CD ripping for the basic video formats or have plugin support. In addition, it would be nice if the program permitted you to synchronize your music with your mobile device, let you subscribe to podcasts or find and download new artists, albums and music.

Dopamine Music Player FAQs
Why did you create Dopamine?
There are a lot of audio players out there. Most of them have much more features and are much more configurable than Dopamine. But that is exactly what bothered me: I want to listen to music, not spend time configuring my music player. So, Dopamine has one simple purpose: fire it up and play in and easy, clear and beautiful way.
What does “Dopamine” mean?
Dopamine” is a chemical in your body which transmits signals in the parts of your brain that are related to rewards, motivation and pleasure. Whenever you perform some activity that makes you feel good, that’s Dopamine being released in some parts of your brain. When you listen to music you enjoy and it makes you feel good: that’s
Why are some of my songs not grouped in one album?
First, you must understand this: once audio files have been extracted from a record or CD, there exists no such thing as a Album anymore. You just have a bunch of loose audio files, containing correct or incorrect metadata (also called tags) about where these files were extracted from. As a result of this, software audio players need to use some artificial way to define which audio files belong to a same album. The correctness of the metadata influences how software audio players succeed in that task.
We’ll take a closer look at 3 of these metadata tags: Artist, Album artist and Album title.
An audio file has 2 artist tags: Artist and Album artist.
- Artist = the artist who performs the song
- Album artist = the common artist for the whole album
For albums where all the songs are from the same artist, these 2 tags will contain the same value: the artist who performs the song. For albums containing songs from multiple artists (also called compilation albums), the value in these 2 tags can be different.
Furthermore, a song also has a tag Album title, which is the title of the album.
Dopamine organizes albums based on a song’s Album title and Album artist. All songs which have a same Album title AND a same Album artist, are considered to be part of the same album: they will appear under the same cover in the Albums views in Dopamine.
People are confused by compilation albums. From lots of e-mails I received, I’ve come to the conclusion that most audio files from compilation albums are incorrectly tagged. Most of them have an incorrect value in the tag Album artist, namely: the artist who performs the song. In such case, Dopamine considers these songs as part of a different album.
To resolve this, tag your files correctly:
- Artist = the artist who performs the song
- Album artist = some common artist name (e.g. “Various artists”)
You can use Dopamine’s built-in tag editor to correct this.
Where are the log files?
Log files are stored in your user directory, in this folder: %appdata%\Dopamine\Log. Copy and paste this in Windows Explorer and the folder containing the log files will be opened. If you press the keyboard shortcut [CTRL]+[L] when inside Dopamine, the folder containing the log files also opens. When you report an issue to me, always include the log file, as I can’t see what is happening on your computer.
Why wasn’t my suggestion accepted?
I’m open to all suggestions and I’m grateful for all the help I’m getting. A lot of suggestions are very constructive and useful and have been added to Dopamine at some point, or are planned to be added later. Unfortunately, not every suggestion fits in the idea that I have for Dopamine. So some of them will be refused.
Thanks for understanding that.

The Dopamine music player is far from a full-featured audio player, the application really shines when it comes to appearance and simplicity. Therefore, if you are looking for an unsophisticated tool to listen to music you stored on your computer, then Dopamine might be worth a try.
