I'm a jazz sax player with backing tracks on a Win 10 tablet and external sound card., hooked up to a 1000 watt speaker system that I use for parties etc. This is the ONLY player I have found with the flexibility to set different equalizer settings for individual tracks and reproduce those settings ACCURATELY and effectively! I've been searching for years for such a player and was using VLC until I stumbled on THIS online. I've never looked back since!

Fastest and safest and most full featured media player. Firstly to comments above about the sound being too low. This is a very simple setting to adjust. Go to Options, Preferences, Audio tab, then in Max Amplification adjust the setting higher. For example 100 is 100% and 200 is 200% or x2 amplification. You can then use the audio slider on the bottom right of SMPlayer to adjust the sound volume.Okay so I first started using this software a couple of years ago when all I had to travel with was an very old Dell Laptop running Windows XP and it was a Pentium III 450Mhz with an ATI Graphics chip. With a clean install of windows and the latest drivers it would pause or go out of sync on movies/TV episodes using Windows Media Player or Using VLC Media Player. Using SMPlayer I could run movies/TV episodes full screen without pauses or speech going out of sync even using the TV out running full screen on a TV! It just goes to show this software is built well for speed and very efficient use of system resources!A very big feature of this media player is the way it installs and uses codecs. Now using windows media player over the years (and most other 3rd party media players) it is normal to have to download codecs or whole bloated codec packs to get certain videos to run. All it takes sometimes is one poorly written codec to mess up the windows media player codec system (which most 3rd party players or encoders use). It has been a few times I have seen it require a format and re-install of windows to fix a problem caused by a poorly written codec. What a pain! SMPlayer uses it's own inbuilt codec system that is separate from Windows Media Player this means it will not mess with Windows Media Player or it's codec system. Also if for whatever reason a video plays strangely or SMPlayer you can always run it on Windows Media Player as they are both separate. Please remember to choose the web installer of SMPlayer and then select extra codecs, this will make sure you have support for all the video files out there such as .mkv ect.SMPlayer is very simple and powerful to use. Features I use all the time are the video equaliser to change the brightness, gamma, saturation of a movie or TV episode to look just right for my screen. Also the scroll wheel on the mouse to go forward and back through a movie. More advanced is the configurable keyboard shortcuts which I then use with a program called Intelliremote. I can then use my HP laptop media player remote for almost any pre-set function on SMPlayer. Cons: The only real downside to this media player so far is that it's DVD menu system or navigation is not fully working. I would recommend just using Windows Media Player for watching DVD movies.

This player has still a long way to go. i don't why they copied the appearance of vlc media player, they should have come up wid a new look. this software is very good at playing any kind of multimedia files but the main problem is it's sound which is very low.. on the other hand vlc and bs player are much better on all the fronts Pros: plays all media filesuser friendly Cons: looks like vlc media playersound way too low
