  • Plays almost any music/video file type (mp3, ogg, mkv, ac ati) I’ve been using VLC for a while and haven’t found a single file type it won’t play.
  • Even plays CDs/DVDs when you insert them into your computer.
  • Very clean, easy-to-use interface that gets the job done.
  • Full screen mode that gets rid of any distractions.
  • Plays subtitles yn dda.
  • Lets you crop/zoom/process a video as much as you want so it’ll fit your screen.
  • Supports music playlists.
  • Can capture video and audio (so you can record your screen or music, for example.)
  • Has tons of plugins and extensions.

Suffice to say, VLC is a great program; there’s a reason it’s one of the most popular open-source projects (4 million downloads per week!) Mynd yn ei flaen ac download VLC, install it, and start playing that music and video you’ve always wanted to. Just ditch the sweater.
