Metro Media Player

There are many multimedia players that you can rely on to enjoy your audio and video files, but most of them only allow you to play files at their own speed, without offering any possibility to adjust it. Metro Media Player is one of the apps that enables you to modify the aforementioned playback speed to your liking.

This application can only be run on computers running Windows 8 or 8.1, no matter if their architecture is x86 or x64 - in other words, you will not be able to install it if you are running an older version of Windows.

The interface of the software solution is highly intuitive and you can start playing a local video by simply browsing to its location. Once your clip is running, you can also select a suitable subtitle file, as long as its format is SRT.

You can also enter the URL of the video you are interested in, while keeping in mind that the app only supports common formats, like AVI, WMV and MP4.

In addition to adjusting the volume of the audio track, you can also modify the video size and the playback rate (however, note that this might not be possible on some computers if background audio is enabled). Snapped mode is also supported, along with the PlayTo mode, which allows you to stream contents from your PC to a DLNA-supported TV.

If you were looking for a video player that would help you focus on the clip you are watching, without any distractions, Metro Media Player is the right tool for you. It can also be used to adjust the playback speed as you see fit, even though it might not support all the formats you throw at it.
