I discovered KMP some time ago. I wasn't really searching for an media player. I needed one but I wasn't searching for one. The Windows Media Player mostly disappointed me. I had some other players before, but none as good as KMP.

I remember I used an great player on win98 that had similar features to KMP, but as I switched to XP the player was not supported by XP. Now I use KMP for my media files. It supports internet streams as well, but I don't use this often. Once a week, maybe twice. I use KMP nearly every day and like it.

I registered to the forum to find answers to a few questions and to suggest improvements.... Now I'm a moderator (of the German sub-forum). This alone should show how much I like KMP. KMP never reports that he's unable to play something like the Windows Media Player frequently does.

I recommend every one to give KMP at least a try. I did and I kept KMP.

I discovered KMP some time ago, and now it's my default player to music and movies. Simple to use, a lot of recurses, free of bugs: it's simply perfect! I yet translated it to Brazilian Portuguese, made a version of Pure+ skin and also translated the Winamp Library add-on.

Thanks to all the KMP developers and contributors!

Hi Everyone, I'm really satisfied with this player. I was in the same situations like many people who wrote here: I used a lot of player, but neither of them were enough good. Finally I found this player, and I realized that I do not need any additional codec to play different kind of movie formats. Near by this it is very clever player (knows Winamp things; 100% personalizable; you can set up everything for audio and video too), for all the set up possibility there is very good setup description. So, thanks for the player, and for the lot of support!

Let me say, I am completely in awe of this media player. Not only does it have the gloss, glory, and glamour of any other player... It also has great codecs, great filters, and great system tray support. On top of all this, it also takes very little system resources along with an immense amount of support.

-- I have had to do many things, including using google and any search engine I could to try and find a player just to play the specific little file types. Before KMPlayer i had Quicktime, RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, Several FLV players that were for different TYPES of flv's along with other random media players like VMC and others for the codecs that others were glitching on.

After looking at a comment from someone at giveawayoftheday.com, I heard about KMPlayer. I instantly searched google for it, and downloaded it. I really expected it to suck like every other media player, in fact I was very sure of it with a generic name with Player in the name. After opening it with flv and it displaying the file without any problems I was in awe.

During watching this movie, i was playing around with the immense amount of extra tools, and color display it has. It was like every button I pressed open up a new media player all in itself with capabilities. The filters this program has exceeds Sony Vegas's support while taking 9-10k mem usage.

This versatile, beautifully designed and elegantly textured media player has tooken me by surprise and has made me able to remove all of the spyware infested, memory taking programs like Quicktime and RealPlayer.

My profound thanks to the developers. The KMPlayer is the BEST! After a long and frustrating search for an alternative to all those other players, each of which has problems, I found The KMPlayer included in a review of media players on a Wikipedia, and from the review it was obviously a winner. Needs more publicity so it is better known.

This player has all the good qualities of the players i used before. Great subtitle handling like BSPlayer, lightweight like MPC, it is configurable like Zoom Player, it plays just about anything like VLC, plus it plays incomplete files (like VLC) and that's nice for previews of files that are still in download. If it would handle streams (Windows Media and Real streams) a bit better, it would be the only player on my system (for now i use MPC for that).

The KMPlayer Team, My hats off to you! I have been dealing with computers and programs of all types from the very first days of introduction to the public. And I have never felt compelled to write or even comment about any program, And you have to admit there have been some good ones in there time and for the time period that they where made in. I fell that you guys have set an all new level that has been long needed. Keep up the Great Work and I look foward to following future progress to come. And again Great Job !!

For quite some time, I've been searching the net for a good portable media player that I can bring anywhere and still play all the anime I have in other computers (e.g. school lab) without having to install any codec packs or anything at all.

I tried mplayer with MPUI, then VLC portable. Both disappointed me. Then, one of my friend introduced me to The KMPlayer. At first glance, I really doubted it.

When I first played an anime I have, I encountered some problems, like unable to load embedded custom fonts from the video file, etc. But then, I went asking in the forum. And the solution comes within a couple of hours.

Then, I went look for more things in the forums. There, I discovered a lot of cool things I can do with The KMPlayer. Now, The KMPlayer has earned its permanent spot in my thumbdrive. It's small, fast and sleek. Now, I'm even considering to use it for my main media player in my laptop to replace my zoomplayer.

After scouring the net for an all in one media player, I had settled on cobbling together and incredibly messy winamp install with pirated codecs and almost a dozen codecs. Even after everything I did there, there were still a ton of things that didn't work as well as I had hoped. I found KMPlayer in a forums somewhere and decided to give it a go. . .

Everything worked, not most. . . everything. Not fiddling, no tweaking, no trying to find patches. The KMPlayer is the perfect player. Honestly, I'm not one for paying for software when I don't have to, I'll happily donate to The KMPlayer cause since it's such a great piece of software.

Actually, my one complaint is that it's hard to find. Ever consider registering with download.com, tucows.com or some of the other file download sites. It could really make The KMPlayer a lot more visible. Whatever the case *Awesome* product. Keep up the good work!

I was looking for some portable media player that I could use to play podcast and music off my USB pen drive, and I came across this. It works great, looks great and is easy to use! Best of all it uses little RAM. I compared it to iTunes and here's the results.

KMPlayer Minimized: 7-10 MB Maximized: 14 MB
iTunes Minimized: 11 MB Maximized: 55 MB (o.o)

Obviously this is the better choice for RAM usage, not to mention that it's far more customizable to your liking. Use it, you'll love it!

I was wondering why I didn't notice this player for so long. It is simply awesome. I came across it as bsplayer didn't work well in Vista. The KMPlayer works very perfectly in Vista Ultimate. It is better than any other player I have used so far, but I don't know why it is not as popular as others. Leave VLC and MPC to dust. Default skin looks fantastic on Vista. Faster than other players and light on resources, with tons of advanced options. I had been looking for something like this for years...

Simply Awesome..!!!!

Just wanted to say thanks to the developers of the KMPlayer. I find it much better than alternatives like VLC and MPC, in terms of appearance, functionality, and reliability. Too bad the others are more popular, but I do my part by recommending KMP to friends and relatives. You might broaden the audience by making the kmplayer.com homepage more accessible to English speakers (and other languages). Anyway, thanks again!

I am truly impressed with The KMPlayer - on lark I downloaded it a few days ago from videohelp.com and spent a good chunk of the next day checking it out and configuring it. I have been raving to folk ever since. It simply is the best media player available. I was a die-hard zoom player fan but this player takes it to a whole new level. I can't wait to see what is coming. Thanks for the awesome player!!

Dear The KMPlayer Team,

Congratss!! Thanks for making such a wonderful player. I find this player to be the best one available in the network. I was the user of VLC player before finding it. It looks promising and turns out to have amazing features. Especially, I like a desktop playback mode working in background similar to wallpaper.

Best Wishes
