    KMPlayer is often praised for its interface, which has been described as more functional and user-friendly than VLC or Media Player Classic Home Cinema. Its playlist manager is more akin to WinAmp's than it is to VLC or other video players, which makes it desirable for those with vast multimedia catalogs. It also includes very granular customization options.

    Its effects are easier to use and it has an extensive Preferences selection; BE AWARE, they have a separate music player. I have both. the Reverb is solid. you can avoid the crapware by doing the first download from Ninite and just updating or do a custom install. To my knowledge GOM does not recored.

    AVFoundation is excellent for Apple's native media stack, but its container, codec, subtitle, and network-protocol support is limited to what Apple ships. Apps that need MKV, SSA/ASS subtitles, RTSP, SMB, UPnP, or other VLC-backed formats and protocols need a broader engine.
