Trying to choose a media player app is like deciding on a web browser: conflicting opinions abound, everyone wants to convert you to “their” app of choice, and you have so many options to wade through that you will drown under them all.

The good news? Strong media player apps always rise to the top and distinguish themselves from the rest, and for the most part, it doesn’t matter which one you choose. As with web browsers, the best media player for you is the one you most enjoy using.

So here are the best media players currently available on Windows 10 — and no, Windows Media Player is not one of them. Its last release dates back to 2009, which matches the same year of Windows 7’s debut. Yeah, it’s outdated so don’t use it. Pick one of the apps in this post instead. You’ll thank yourself for it!
