Question

What a good free alternative to WMP, with the look and feel of WMP?

Please provide a Wikipedia article about the software, because if there is none, I usually do not trust it...

Answer 1

Real Player...it's reputable...you can still check it out on wikepedia your self as I am out the door in 3 min!

Answer 2

Try VLC player. It's good and supports almost every video format that we usually need to play.

As for the look and feel, It's defuault skin is not like WMP. However, You can download more skins for free and there's one I found that does look like Windows Media Player.

VLC player is free too.

Answer 3

Try WinAmp :P It's really good, i use it to broadcast my radio now and then.



Wikipedia says:



Winamp is a proprietary media player for Windows-based PCs, written by Nullsoft, now a subsidiary of AOL. It is freeware/shareware, multi-format, extensible with plug-ins and skins, and is noted for its graphical sound visualization, playlist, and media library features. Winamp was released by Justin Frankel in 1997, and its popularity grew quickly, along with the developing trend of MP3 file-sharing.
