The Core Media Player, briefly known as TCMP, is the kind of application that’s supposed to replace traditional music and video players, offering users exactly the features they’d want from this kind of software solutions.

Pretty similar to Winamp when it comes to interface, TCMP even supports Winamp plugins, while offering almost the same settings menu as the media player that’s currently installed on millions of computers worldwide.

TCMP on the other hand relies on a simple interface, just like the classic version of Winamp does now, so it’s pretty easy to take advantage of its powerful features.

Of course, the program comes with skin support, as well as it multiple theme colors, so it’s easy to customize it to better fit your options.

And speaking of options, the application has a very rich settings menu which means users can customize many of its features, regardless if we’re talking about interface or the way it handles multimedia files.

We’ve tested TCMP with multiple files and every time things went pretty smooth, so we can easily confirm that it is worth a chance in case you’re still looking for a powerful media player.

All in all, if by any reason Winamp has disappointed you, be sure to give The Core Media Player a shot, it’s freeware and does almost the same thing as it’s more popular sibling.
