Want To Try A New Media Player? Check Out Zoom Player Home FREE

Have you had enough of your media player? Is it slow, maybe unresponsive? Or maybe you don’t like the interface? Why not try Zoom Player. If you are looking for a change to your current media player then Zoom Player may be just what you are looking for.  The application has been designed to be a different style of media player.  Zoom Player both simplifies the playback experience for the common user, while offering the Power User an array of tools and interfaces.

Zoom Player has a slick and simple user interface.  This is combined with easy to access features while at the same time providing advanced control dialogs. The application was designed to load quickly, take as little system resources as possible, provide user feedback and direction as appropriate and maintain as much isolation from other applications and system components so as not to undermine the overall stability of your system.

The following list is just some of the updates and fixes that have been undertaken in this latest version of Zoom Player:

• New “Media Scanner” full screen navigation interface (Ctrl+Shift+”M”).
• The Media Scanner scans the PC’s drives, searching for media content (audio/video/images) and presenting a clear list featuring the content of each folder identified to contain media.

• With the new Media Scanner, you no longer have to leave the full screen navigation interface to setup the media library.
