I have been using VLC media player since 1 year.I tried other media players like GOM, Windows media player also to play videos, music but VLC is better than them.VLC media player plays videos, music very smoothly with out any distortion.VLC supports almost all types of video formats.Buy using menu bar in VLC, we can able able to set visualization to music while playing.
We can forward music or videos using VLC keyboard short cuts or options available in VLC player.Using toggle option in VLC, we can watch particular video scene multiple times.We can adjust video screen size to either 16:9 or other aspect ratio using keyboard short cut key "A".Over all I like VLC for playing music and videos.
