While Windows Media Player can satisfy a novice user or someone who uses their computer as a typewriter only, more experienced and demanding users might like to use something else instead. Here's a powerful and free substitution to the default Windows player: Carlanthano.
     Carlanthano is a media player that, just as Windows Media Player, uses MCI drivers to play any types of media files. The variety of files it can play is limited by the range of MCI drivers on your system only. Carlanthano is much more easy to use than the standard Windows player and has ten times more useful features too. You can create and save multiple playlists and control the playback process through an icon in the system tray.
     Of all the usual features that media players come handy these days, such as ID3 tags support and editing, multiple playlists and real-world-Hi-Fi-systems playmodes and controls, only the skin feature is missing in this particular program. Though you can still change its appearance (fonts and colors) via the options menu. Download this free player today and check it out yourself.
