AVS Media Player review
AVS Media Player lets you play music and movies in a multitude of formats through an elegant interface. This software comes completely free of charge and is built with a single purpose -- to give you an easy-to-use environment where you can enjoy your media.
Pros
Pleasant interface: AVS Media Player is very easy on the eyes. The different buttons and options are thoughtfully placed, so the app doesn't feel too busy.
Multiple format support: The software will play an MP4, a 3GP, or an MKV without problem. In addition to the video support, a wide range of audio formats are supported as well.
Works with different home cinema setups: Whether you have a home cinema with a surround sound system or just your laptop and a headset, the app will make optimal use of the available hardware to deliver the best possible experience.
Cons
Stunted customization: You cannot install skins or themes, and the button layout on the main player window cannot be changed.
First-party ads: When no video is playing, the main window may display an ad for another program made by the same company. Additionally, every time you start the media player, a two-second splash screen appears that cannot be disabled.
Bottom Line
If you're tired of Windows Media Player and are looking for an alternative that's easy to use, give AVS Media Player a try. While it lacks many of the features present in the Windows built-in media player, it makes up for it by proving to be fast, reliable, and easy to use.
