Media Player Classic is a total throw-back in all the best possible ways. It does exactly what you hope it would with relative ease and comfort. It is incredibly flexible and allows for tremendous freedom for users in regards to which files they want to play. It is a great tool for those who consume a lot of non-streaming media.

Media Player Classic has a very stripped-down approach to viewing media with a uniquely 1990's feel. It has very clear and easy-to-use buttons, allows for some settings to be modified and adjusted according to the desires of the user. And above all, it has great quality media reproduction.

Unlike a lot of modern players, there are not a lot of confusing extras that get in the way of the viewing experience and no annoying ads. It is easy to use and even the most novice computer user could move around the software with ease.

Media Player Classic runs on almost all Windows operating systems, including Windows 10. It is currently only offered in English, but users do not need a great understanding of English to use this software. It is completely free and a relatively small download size.

It does not support streaming services. There have also been some complaints that on certain computers, Media Player Classic struggles with playing audio CDs. Otherwise, the majority of files work quite smoothly on this software.

For users who have a great relationship with older Windows software, this will be a great download. It exactly what users hope for when they hear the word, "classic." This software is a great addition to any computer and is truly a cornerstone player for any media lover.
