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.
