Anyone have recommendations for a free windows media player. (Or, windows/mac.)
 
All I need is pretty much the standard 'windows media player' that will simply respond to the space bar for start and stop. Any other enhancements and doohickys would also be welcome.
 
concerned about viruses so I thought I'd ask here as to where to download from.
 
I've heard some internet chatter about Foobar, VLA, MusicBee.
 
Also, I'd be interested in one for a Mac that has an EQ?
 
Thanks

Vla (videolan) is Mac/win and does what you ask

I use 'media player classic' for its simplicity

+1 VLC (videolan). It has a very active development community, too.

Yep, VLC has always worked fine for me.

Thanks guys. Got the VLC. Seems to work fine. Sooooo nice not to have to mouse the play and stop.

I like Pot Player by Daum for video playback https://potplayer.daum.net. For audio I like Mediamonkey.  http://www.mediamonkey.com
 
 

Vlc but I also use media monkey.

BTW, I was inquiring about using this on a PC (and Mac). Not a phone or Pad. Thanks again. I'll look at media monkey.
