We bring to your attention a review of the music player for mac - Elmedia Player, which allows you to play files with almost any extension, and has some additional features, including a built-in browser and downloading videos from sites.

The standard players built into OS X and Windows operating systems allow you to play multimedia files only in certain formats, so computer owners have to look for alternative solutions, and often more is needed to install one third-party player. In addition, sometimes, it becomes necessary to download a video from a site, and this requires the installation of an additional browser extension.

Video playback

Elmedia Player is designed to meet the modern requirements for HD video playback. Since this is a high-definition video, its high-quality and smooth playback requires many computer resources. Thanks to the hardware-accelerated decoding in Elmedia Player, the CPU and RAM power consumption is significantly reduced, so even the heaviest high-resolution video files are played smoothly and without artifacts.

Elmedia Player also allows you to create your playlists and smart playlists, including videos stored on your computer's hard drive and links to videos on the Internet, such as YouTube.
