You'll find the basic things, those you can figure out on your own too, but for anything more advanced you're pretty much on your own. The Help menu refers you to their wiki, which is useless. Even worse, the help system is practically non-existent. It's nice to have a user-supported forums, but my personal experience says you can't count on a reply (let alone a fix) from the developers. But that's a disease of practically all media players today: they can look good, but usability was not even a second thought. Try to find the thumbtack on the scroll-bar - it's almost invisible. The default skins are all painfully ugly except for Noire, but Noire is all dark.

You can save channels, but the links will eventually go stale. Plays internet radio, but there is no station list or search - all it does it display a web page in the embedded browser. I'll take KMPlayer or Zoom Player for video any time. And video playback controls are not so great either. You can either play videos in that laughable, tiny little panel in left-hand corner, or full screen. It's an OK audio player, but really inconvenient IMO as a video player. Great facilities for creating playlists - regular and 'smart'. It's unparalleled for organizing and searching for media.

It's still not fast enough to be my default media player. Support for CD and DVD database and support for popular handheld players, Sony PSP and PlaysForSure devices.įast or slow? It's surprisingly fast (to start up and execute commands) for an application that can handle really huge media libraries. Unique media browsing views for faster, easier and more powerful file search and play. Drag-and-drop for easy Playlist creation. Media Scheduler for sleep, alarm and recording functions, Media Editor for editing sound files.
