Free Media Player

Free Media Player is a lightweight media player designed specifically for helping you listen to music and watch videos in a clean working environment. The tool works with various file formats, such as AVI, MPEG, MP4, 3GP, SWF, and OGG.

You are welcomed by a straightforward layout that allows you to configure the dedicated parameters on the fly. The playback controls automatically disappear when the focus is not on the main window.

Files can be added in the working environment using the built-in browse button (the drag-and-drop support is not implemented). A help manual cannot be accessed but you can tweak the settings on your own because they look highly intuitive.

You are allowed to play, pause, or stop the current selection, seek for a position in the video/audio streams, jump to the previous or next track, increase or decrease the speed, as well as alter the volume.

What’s more, Free Media Player gives you the possibility to create playlists, import/export data from/to M3U file format, delete songs from the playlists, and play audio files in a random order.

Tests have shown that the application carries out a task quickly and delivers good output results. It does not eat up a lot of CPU and memory resources so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered.

All things considered, Free Media Player comes packed only with basic playback features for helping you open media files, and is suitable especially for less experienced users. Professionals may look for something else because there’s no support for advanced features. You cannot download subtitles from online platforms, import custom subtitle files, work with an equalizer, perform searches throughout the playlist, repeat songs, make use of hotkeys, and access online radio stations, just to name some suggestions.
