Calaym is a lightweight, free music player, which will play taking the lowest resources possible on your PC. There are many music players available now that are full of features and they are heavy on system resources too. The main reason behind that is the use of highly skinned interface that makes it more resource hungry. If you are running a machine which is not more than 2-3 years old then you will not notice the lag but for the old machines these players are really monstrous.
