When it comes to video playback, there are way too many
choices available, even if you look at only the free options. Within that selection, some players are
fantastic and others are sorely lagging behind their competitors, and the most
popular ones aren’t always the best ones. The difficulty is taking the time to
separate the wheat from the chaff.
So here are the 5 of the best media players you
can use on windows for free. Take this list with a grain of salt. Try them for yourself
and see which ones do you like.
1. VLC Media Player
Back in the day, VLC used to be the king of free Windows media players,
it was a long while ago and the only viable alternatives were Windows Media
Players or Winamp.
