   VLC Media Player vs Windows Media Player Comments

   Top Positive Comment by Rasheed AZ · Jul 30, 2018

   Can actually play most media files and actually fulfil its purpose unlike wmp

   Top Negative Comment by Guest · Jun 21, 2015

   VLC, while an awesome media player, lacks WMP's library features. Thus, it is not an all-in-one system like WMP is.

   Positive comment by tpc1095 · May 6, 2023

   Not an alternative to Windows Media Player at all because the main function of WMP is to organize song tracks into albums by artist. Just playing a file isn't a big deal.

   AIMP vs Windows Media Player Comments

   Negative comment by Gustavo D · Oct 27, 2024

   AIMP is awesome, no question about it, but it's not a all media player. It explicitly doesn't play video. With plug-ins it can pull video content from say, YouTube, but it won't show the video, the reason is stated as something about focusing on being a audio player. I'm paraphrasing. If you are replacing WMP as audio player though, maybe first try iTunes. AIMP may be a little much for you.
