Damn "The Man"


Windows Media Player is as most people know from Microsoft aka "The Man". If you have Windows you have Windows Media Player, it does work well enough but you don't have to eat the green eggs and ham "The Man" shoves down your gullet. If you don't want to use it you do have a choice. You can take the Pepsi challenge, fight the establishment you don't have to be at the mercy of "The Man". Who will aid you in your fight? Enter the other white meat "Media Player Classic", freeware no strings attached GNU (General Public license). Media Player Classic will work with a host of file types from .avi to .mkv to .wmv. I found Media Player classic when I was looking for something to play .mkv files, a video format that isn't very common, and was pleasantly surprised that it could play many others. It has tons of options to customize your media experience. It even works with my 5.1 Surround setup.
