I only downloaded KANTARIS to view some media files that I wanted to watch, but seemed unplayable. However, I found I was using it gradually more often, now it is the only Media Player I use. There may be better Media Players out there, but KANTARIS is all I need at the moment.

That is so true [re:Download Morpheus Music - Freeware Download List] – but then the majority of us would not do that as there seem to be so many steps involved. Are there any shortcuts you know of?…

I like VLC. I use it at work (with XP) and at home (with Vista), but I have the same delayed pause issue in both computers. I will try Kantaris now.

I downloaded this Wonderful PLAYA on 05/15/09 – 4 days before it was posted on This Hot Site!

Kantaris is the ish!
The Ability to play my music DVD’s smoothly sold me Quickly on Kantaris.
(A couple of the very expensive paid media players caused my videos to stop and go during playback)

That was my assumption also, but my friend who runs a completely different PC setup on XP Professional 32bit is having the same issue. I’m on Vista Home Premium 32bit.

“Unlike VLC, which is open source, Kantaris only works on Windows 2000, XP and Vista.”

You seem to have mixed things up here. If something is open source, it doesn’t mean it’s necessarily platform independent. What you should have said is “Unlike VLC, which is platform independent, Kantaris…”.

I’d suggest RAIsoft Total Media Player cuz it’s known to be the best internet media player and Desktop media player….mostly cuz it has LIVE TV and Youtube

That must be a local problem, I never heard of or encountered it.

It still has the pause issue that VLC does, i.e. when you click to pause it first stutters ahead one second and then pauses. Only reason I still don’t use VLC. WMP 11 does it’s job admirably.

XBMC is my choice for best media player for Win XP. The look and feel (operation) are great, it plays all media types, allows on the fly adjustments to screen size, audio and subtitles and sounds as good as Mediamonkey for MP3 playback. It supports skins and is regularly updated. What more could you want?

A little buggy but with a ton of potential. I wouldn’t call it an VLC killer just yet. Nice find though.

vlc is still the power house. there is simply no other media player that has such vast options for novice and expert users. as for the interface of vlc there are several skins which u could integrate into vlc to satisfy you needs. they have several flavors of skins from wmp11 to a mac type interface as well as others theck them out at

Dang- I was excited to try this. I love the functionality of VLC- but was never a big fan of the interface.
Sadly, I’m getting some sort of Run-Time error when running the installer on my Win2k box.
