Nowadays, digital media files are used by more and more computer users, and even by people who don't own computers. That's because media files are easy to play and are supported by a wide range of software players and media devices. But because there are so many different media formats, playing all of them on the computer can be a real challenge. That's because most media players don't offer support for all the popular formats and that's why it may be necessary to install two or three applications for this purpose. But things change when using the GOM Player application.

This simple and fully-featured Windows program offers extensive support for a wide range of media formats, being able to play the most popular media formats on the market. The installation wizard of the program can be completed in matter of minutes, requiring minimum effort from the user. The same goes for using the program. During the installation process, the user is asked whether the program should download and install some basic codecs. This is recommended for making sure that all the user's media files will be playable.

After installing and running the application, the user just needs to select one or more media files to be played. If several media files are selected at the same time, GOM Player will automatically play them all, one by one. After completing this step, one can use the familiar playback buttons for controlling the imported media files.

But the true power of GOM Player lies in its context menu, which contains a multitude of options and features. By accessing this menu, the user can add subtitles to videos, can customize the video aspect ratio and can also fine-tune audio, by accessing the included equalizer.

GOM Player is compatible with various audio and video filters. By accessing the options section, one can customize the functionality of the application and also the look and feel, by applying one of the includes skins or themes.

Pros

It offers support for a wide range of video and audio files. Besides that, several files can be added to the interface at the same time. Furthermore, the context menu features numerous controls for customizing the video and audio playback. What's more, the interface supports various skins or themes.

Cons

The options section of the program seems a bit too difficult to use by a beginner. GOM Player allows you to play almost any audio and video file, in a simple and intuitive interface, offering a multitude of features and options.
