Post What is a Media Player?
Hello
A media player is a software program designed to play multimedia content as it streams in from a network like the Internet, or from local storage on a hard drive or other resource. A media player might be expected to understand and translate several audio and video codecs, covering many digital music and video formats.A few media players commonly known and widely used include Apple®’s QuickTime®, Miscrosoft®’s Media Player (from which the general term followed), now known as Windows® Media Player (WMP), and RealNetworks® RealPlayer®. In earlier days one needed the QuickTime media player to watch Apple content, and Media Player to watch Windows content. RealPlayer was a program that would play both types of content and its own proprietary format. RealPlayer was an Internet favorite for a short time in the late 90s, but fell out of favor due to widely publicized privacy concerns about spyware-like behavior and bloat.
Thanks
