About VLC media player
VLC is a free, open-source media player that handles local files, DVDs, audio CDs and network streams. It ships with its own codecs, so most files play right after installation, and it stays light enough for older machines.
For a large music collection, MediaMonkey adds library organization, tag editing and playlist management. Compare it with VLC if sorting your media matters as much as playing individual files.
