I have been using VLC media player for several years now, from well before when it had all of the fancy background, borders and menus. I started using it when it was just a simple player, very “beta” looking. I wanted a player that could play a lot of different media types, and would play then reliably, and not ask me to subscribe to a million other services. VLC media player was it. And I have been using it ever since.

Several reasons I started using, and continue to use VLC media player are:

1. It plays a TON of different media types, just about any that you can imagine.

2. It plays them reliably, without issues.

3. Its free. And thats probably my favorite part.

I would highly recommend VLC media player to anyone that wants a reliable, quick, versatile and best of all free media player.
