Subject: Vlc, quite an impressive little media player
Ok, since I've had my Imac I've been venturing to try software packages
which didn't work too well on my Power PC, one of these is the VLC Media
Player, the Intel build seems to work far better than did the Power PC
build. The reason I raise the subject of VLC is because I'm sure other
list members use it and also because it has a very similar feel to use to
Winamp, one of our list members was commenting on this a few weeks ago
when he talked about the thundermental differences between the way Itunes
and Winamp work.
As we all know, Itunes is based round a library of content whereas Winamp
and VLC are based on playlists, to further illustrate the point if you
select all the songs in a folder, have VLC set as your default media
player and then press say command-down arrow to open the selection, then
all files are played with VLC and you can save a playlist reflecting the
songs you selected to play, no files are moved or copied anywhere and you
put the playlist where you want it so that's just plain and simple.
The other great reason people may wish to try VLC is the amazing quality
of audio output, I don't know what decoders Itunes use but it sounds
God-Damn awful when compared to VLC.
There are still a lot of things I don't understand about this software
but I'm exploring and discovering, enjoying every minute of what I see or
perhaps that should be what I hear <smile>.
If anyone has anything to add to this then I' be interested to hear what
they have to say.
