Review Zoom Player

Zoom Player is a free multimedia player that can play audio, video, online video, and subtitles.

Today, there are many types of multimedia files. Each file type has a number of features that distinguishes it from the others. For example, .avi files and .mkv files are both video files, and although these files may seem the same, internally are very different from each other. That is why it is necessary to have a media player that is able to play all kinds of files.

Zoom Player plays video (3gp, asf, avi, bdmv, divx, flc, fli, flv, m2ts, m4v, mkv, mov, mp4, mpg, mpeg, ogm, ogv, vob, rm, ts, webm, wmv,, and more), audio (aac, ac3, aif, ape, cda, dts, flac, m4a, mid, midi, mp3, ogg, wav, wma, and more), images (bmp, gif, jpeg, jpg, png, psd, tif, tiff, and more), and subtitles (ass, mks, rar, rt, smi, sub, srt, ssa, usf,).
When the program is installed, there is a possibility to install an additional component that allows the reproduction of the media files inside a compressed file without the need to unzip the file.

The use of this media player is very simple; it will be enough to drag the multimedia file to the player and use the playback control buttons (play, stop, pause, etc.).

We also have the possibility of browsing and listening to Online radio stations. The radio stations are sorted by music style: Alternative, Blues, Classical, Country, Jazz, Metal, Reggae, Rap, Rock, Electronic, and more.

One of the prominent features of this player is the possibility of controlling the playback using keyboard shortcuts. We will be able to: start/stop/pause playback, change the Brightness/Hue/Gamma/Saturation, increase/decrease the video size, capture the screen, turn on/off subtitles, synchronize subtitles, control the volume, forward/rewind one frame, increase/decrease playback speed, and many more.

Also, the software allows the advanced configuration of the mouse, so we can configure all of the mouse buttons and the wheel to perform a particular action.

The amount of options available is very high, so we will highlight some of the configurations that are the most eye-catching of this software:

  • Audio Visualizations: this option allows configuring the audio visualization plug-ins. These plug-ins show a series of images while playing an audio file. The program can scan the PC to locate this kind of plug-in.
  • Compatible with LIRC: LIRC is a protocol that allows using an infrared remote control to control the PC. Therefore we will have the possibility to control ZoomPlayer with our TV remote control.
  • Configuring on-screen messages (OSD). At the beginning of the playback, this software displays information about that file on the screen. We can configure how that information will be displayed on the screen.: position, size, and duration of the message.

When we install this software, we must pay attention because this software tries to install two programs that are not needed for the correct operation of this program. To avoid it, we have to click on “Custom Installation” and uncheck the boxes “Install TuneUp Utilities 2014” and “Install Opera Browser.” In this way, we will avoid the installation of these two software.

This media player is one of the oldest in the market, as version 1.10 was released in the year 2001 and today is still updating. So this software has more than a decade of development. This is reflected in the many options and configurations available, as well as the extensive support for all media formats.

The software is free for personal use. There are several versions that extend the functionality of the free version.
