Hey all,
once again I’m sorry that it’s taken me so long to post. The program that I wanted to cover today is VLC. VLC is a basically a universal media player so if you can’t play a file using Quicktime or Windows Media Player you can probably play it with this software. It can play anything from Quicktime to AVI to DVD files. So in general it’s a good idea to use this if you want to open the media file on your first try.

The User interface is easy to learn and at the same time extremely flexible. There is also a selection of mutiple themes that you can apply to VLC if you feel like it (I never have but that’s just me). You shouldn’t try to use VLC to replace Itunes (or any other program for that matter) as your default system to manage your music library; that function simply isn’t built into it at this time. however I would recommend keeping it around to use as a lightweight media player for your video files or web radio streams.
VLC does have some advanced functionality included (such as being a video converter) but I won’t be covering those features in this post.
If you want to check it out you can find it Here.

God Bless,
Josh
