Controls are found in a lower sections and include a progress slider, volume adjusters, as well as play and stop buttons.

The application allows you to load videos and songs. File support is decent, but you need to use the browse dialog to select the files to play, because dropping them over the main window has no effect. Playback starts right away, regardless of the file type you add.
