Elmedia Player

I normally don’t like to write reviews, but I did see some low marks and wanted to balance it out for people that haven’t tried it.

It’s only been less than a day, so we’ll see how things work out, but so far I was having trouble with another video player playback — out of sync, laggy — but when I downloaded and tried it with Elmedia, the video ran perfectly

Works great for me but big battery consumpsion. I’ve used Elmedia for several years and i’ve been happy with it. I like it over quicktime because of the playlist and I like the clean interface and the dark backbground. recently, though, i’ve noticed that it’s a battery drain on my 2013 macbook pro running mojave…

This is a gotta have for your Mac!!! It has no rival, no close competitor. For audio or video it is most excellent!!!

I think it’s the best video player

I just downloaded the free version of Elmedia to try it out because I just hate Apple’s Music app (which sure is pretty, but just awful/frustrating to use). I wanted to see how Elmedia lets me organize and play my music library etc. but for the life of me I couldn’t figure out how to import my library from the Music app. I also have an extensive movie database but I thought I’d start with the music first. A subsequent email to the support line and Etima (the makers of Elmedia) say importing from the Music app is not possible. So I guess this is just like an alternate version of QuickTime Player or VLC – that’s fine, but I guess I don’t much see the point these days of people using something like this to listen to their music if everything needs to be located in the Finder or an Open dialog box beforehand.
