Open Source Media Player Alternatives

By admin • February 21, 2010 • Filed in: Open Source


live.pirillo.com – This live call involved a gentleman asking me for a good free alternative to Windows Media Player. He’s had a lot of trouble using WMP, and doesn’t really like it.

hey i want a media player that can play anything i throw at it. also i want it to be good to hd movies. Is VLC the best choice for hd movies?

By Mibmu on February 21st, 2010 at 8:16 am

VLC is fantastic, or SMPlayer

By lbrtdy on February 21st, 2010 at 8:18 am

yeah i seem to be having this problem also. VLC makes .wmv files have color distortions…

GOM for video, maybe WinAMP/FooBar2000 for audio.

Of course there are the combination media players such as KMplayer and VLCplayer, which are top-rated, but its best to download and try for yourself.

I’d like to know which is the less cpu hog !

Miro is the best ever… plays everything

By Generalvaldez on February 21st, 2010 at 12:32 pm

Win Amp and Song Bird are great alternatives

By wizkid6000 on February 21st, 2010 at 1:15 pm

VLC is the best by far, no fucking shitty codexs and all that bollox, stick with the orange cone you’ll never go back.

By webboy9579 on February 21st, 2010 at 2:14 pm

Odd question, how do you change file type associations in osx, I have vlc but my files still want to open in quicktime?”???

By vahnx1337 on February 21st, 2010 at 2:59 pm

Never tried it, but VLC is more popular and very small.

By gnfnr211 on February 21st, 2010 at 3:27 pm

Yes it does trust me I use it all the time!

By an80sGuy on February 21st, 2010 at 4:18 pm

Me thinks that Chris has never actually tried Flip4Mac. Logos on the screen? Yeah right. Actually its 100% invisible. Plays the wmv seamlessly in Quicktime Player or browser window.

By joshcj2006 on February 21st, 2010 at 4:53 pm

actually you were last XD

By ohGirltFeelsGood on February 21st, 2010 at 5:26 pm

By predragbabic82 on February 21st, 2010 at 5:44 pm

gom player is far better than vlc

By jugglerkieran on February 21st, 2010 at 6:38 pm

VLC
MPCstar-(this is the opposite fo windows media player. ie it plays pretty much everything)

By therealorberon on February 21st, 2010 at 6:40 pm

By ltsAboutJesus on February 21st, 2010 at 7:39 pm
