Wisdom-Soft Free Media Player

The only way to watch your preferred videos on your computer is to make sure you have a compatible player.

Wisdom-Soft Free Media Player is one such solution, and it also aims to support the most common multimedia formats out there, not only video (AVI, MOV, MKV, MP4, WMV) but also audio (MP3WAV, WMA, CDA).

This application is especially created for beginners, so it makes sense for its GUI to be minimalist and simplistic. The largest part of the interface is reserved for displaying the video, whereas the menus pack the few available options.

You need to start by adding the file you are interested in enjoying, either via drag and drop, or by manually navigating the its location. Unfortunately, there is no support for playlists, so you do not have the possibility to add selected clips and play them in a certain order; instead you need to constantly add new tracks as soon as the current one ends.

A handy feature is that you can open the location of the currently playing file, so you can load additional tracks from the same directory.

Wisdom-Soft Free Media Player provides you with several controls when it comes to enjoying your video and audio files. You can not only play, pause and stop the track, but also jump backward or forward. You can rewind the video and you can skip to the last frame with a single mouse click.

Wisdom-Soft Free Media Player is a lightweight utility for all those who prefer bare-bones tools for performing various tasks, in this case playing multimedia files. It leaves a small footprint and does not hog your resources, so you can still run it even if your computer is an older one with outdated hardware components.

However, it does not support hotkeys, nor does it allow you to create playlists, and these flaws might discourage some users.
