To sum it up, VLC media player is an application that comes equipped with all you need to fully enjoy media files. You can easily switch to fullscreen for a clearer view, and there are even a few audio visualization options. The case also applies to motion pictures, with adjustments sliders for a decent amount of categories, such as Crop, Colors, Geometry, AtmoLight, and several more. You can also make use of one of the available presets, but with no option to save custom configurations. A 12-band equalizer is put at your disposal so that you can carefully adjust frequency sliders to fine-tune sound. Each button you press brings up new possibilities. Giving VLC media player a try takes some of your time, having you snoop through every corner for hidden treasures. Additionally, you are able to select one of the available radio stations provided, and it is most likely to even stumble across the one you have your frequency tuned to. You can save configurations to play later on, having them combined, music and movies. Files can be managed from here, with the possibility to simply have desired items dragged over an indicated area. You can bring up the playlist editor, which can either be docked or left floating around the desktop. Regardless of your style choice, it is capable of playing both video and audio files.
However, accessing the 'Options' menu gives you the possibility to customize the layout or even completely change the skin with the help of downloadable content. On the visual side, the application stays clean, with no shiny buttons or elements to enhance the interface. Among the existing industry giants which have built a name and reputation over the years, there is VLC media player, a simple looking tool with a lot of power under the hood. Media files are found under a large variety of formats, not supported by all available players.
In order to be able to fully enjoy a movie or song, appropriate applications need to be used.
