Questions tagged [media-player]

Software or hardware device designed to play audio/video files.

Media player is a term typically used to describe computer software for playing back multimedia files. While many media players can play both audio and video, others focus only on one media type or the other. Such players are known as either audio players or video players and often have a user interface tailored for the specific media type.

Used in two main senses:

  1. A program that enables your computer to record, store and play back audio and video recordings.
  2. A device such as the portable iPod media player that is also used to record, store and play back recordings.
