Macgo Free Mac Media Player Commented by CNET as Powerful Media Player on Mac
by David S. Web DesignerAs we all know that there are plenty of audio, video and image formats, however, despite the amount of available media formats people have already developed, it is not always easy to find one perfect media player for all the formats you want to play on Mac. Macgo Free Mac Media Player has been well received by CNET editors as a powerful media player on Mac recently, and this review has been reproduced on Yahoo News. To verify that Free Mac Media Player is a great media player for Mac users, here’s a comparison among Free Mac Media Player from Macgo and three media players of Apple Mac.
1. Macgo Free Mac Media Player V2.11.1
Since being introduced several years ago, Mac Media Player works as all-in-one media player software for almost all media categories and formats. It has offered a solution for those who want to open several media files in a single, streamlined interface. Although iTunes can play almost everything that you have downloaded, it can be clunky and will add that content to your library, also QuickTime can't play all media file types.
2. QuickTime V7.7.6
QuickTime is an extensible multimedia framework developed by Apple Inc., capable of handling various formats of video, picture, sound. QuickTime features advanced video compression technology called H.264 to deliver brilliant, crisp HD video using less bandwidth and storage. Bundled with OS X, it offers a simple user interface with basic buttons. Also you can preview the video content when you drag the mouse pointer along the progress bar.
3. iTunes V12.0.1
iTunes acts as a front end for Apple's QuickTime media player. It is designed to play, download, and organize digital audio and video on personal computers running the OS X and Microsoft Windows operating systems. Through the iTunes Store, you can purchase and download music, MVs, TV shows, movies, and movie rentals in some countries, and ringtones, available on the iPhone and iPod Touch.
4. Apple DVD Player V5.7
Apple's DVD Player is the default option for viewing DVD movies in OS X, and is set up in the "CDs and DVDs" section of the system preferences to automatically launch when a video DVD is mounted and recognized by the system. It is fully compatible with DVDs authored by iDVD and DVD Studio Pro. With DVD Player, users can watch DVD movies right on their Macs and get the same controls they'd find on a DVD player remote control.

user from taking screen captures of visual DVD content. |
To find the perfect media player for Mac certainly is hard.
Equipped with H.264 video compression technology QuickTime supports its special
streaming video format MOV. iTunes is more like a powerful music organizer and
only supports several video formats. Apple DVD Player, as we can see from its
name, is mainly designed for DVD and requires an internal DVD drive due to
licensing restrictions of the DVD decoding technology. And formats like AVI and
MKV cannot be well supported by players of Apple Mac, while Free Mac Media
Player has already solve this problem, besides these two, it can play almost
any media formats like DVD, VideoCD, MOV, FLV, WMV, MP4, MPEG, RMVB, MP3, WMA,
AAC, AC3,etc.
