They have changed hands in an announcement early in March. Check out http://www.kmplayer.com/forums.....#post43640 for more information.

I wonder what Pandora.tv plans on using it for since they are an online streaming site.

You’re doing kmplayer a huge injustice by using it only for video files - Try this test; open kmplayer plus iTunes, VLC, GOM or whatever - open the same music file in each program then play each one in turn and listen to the difference in quality. KMplayer is hugely better at Audio output! If ONLY I didn’t have to use iTunes for my iPod i would have no other media program on my comp - it’s that outstanding.

If you're just listening to the music out of laptop speakers like me then it is hard to hear a difference.

KM player stands for korean movie player. I prefer it over gom and vlc. no it is not based on mplayer.

I just deinstalled it because it could not play .mp4 video files I downloaded as podcast. Media Player Classic and VLC had no problems.

I’m the one who mentioned it on the forums. I found it about one and a half years ago, I think on [majorgeeks.com.] I was not too sure at first, but it truly is a great looking program. BTW, you can download a ZIP file of the program (just extract it where you want it) that works as a portable version and then you can copy it to a memory stick and take it with you just like VLC. It will be dependent on some of the codecs installed, I think just for Real Player, but other than that it is totally portable. So have fun and enjoy.

Where do you find all these jewels?

I definitely can’t take credit for this find. As I mentioned in the article “leland” over in our forum is the one who scrounged this bad boy up.

I tried this some time ago and I will be sticking with VLC. Never had an issue with it and it has never failed to play whatever file I have either.

Part of me feels the same way that you do, but this thing looks pretty remarkable. The one thing that I like about VLC is that there is a portable version available, and I still use that from time to time.

I read in the forum that the developer is missing. that´s sad. good program. If it would support gapless playback it would be a real allroundchoice for many i believe. very nice interface!

That is pretty sad. Hopefully the developer is just preparing for a big release.
