However, it’s a bloated yet simple software media player, which famous for its slow loading time, slow response time, lack of codecs and full with DRM anti fair use restriction crap. You probably won’t want to use it in Windows, be it Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 or later. If so, you can try out GOM Player, one of the best alternative media player for Windows, if not the best.
