Kantaris Media Player, The most suitable Free Media Player on my Audio Environment

Posted by Daniel - 3,364 Views

Kantaris is an all new media player based on code from Videolan client (VLC) and Bass audio library. Kantaris has a graphical user interface similar to that of Windows Media Player. The latest version works with Windows 2000, XP and Vista.

Kantaris can play almost anything you can throw at it: AVI, MPEG, MGEG-AVC, WMV, MOV, MKV, quicktime, matroska, divx, xvid, H264, MP3, WMA, OGG files and more.

Kantaris can also play DVDs and audio CDs. The player also displays some of the most beautiful music visualizations ever seen. All this is completely free.

I am not good in digital music requirements but I guess the quality of digital music depends on many factors such as the quality of source file, the soundcard, the speaker including the placement and the software player itself.

I am now using Realtek HD Audio Soundcard - it’s an OnBoard card on my GigaByte mainboard, a GigaByte software mixer, and a tiny low-end 2.1 Camac Speaker.

I have been testing those combination with several payers including WinAmp, Windows Media Player, AShampoo Media Player and Kantaris Media Player. If you ask me which one is the best according to my ears, I choose Kantaris Media Player.

Why? Because acoording to me, the combination of GigaByte Mixer Features and Kantaris Equalizer - with that speaker, I know it’s not that good - can produce the sound of music that I really like. A relatively clear sound which doesn’t necessarily need to be loud but when I hear it I can differentiate the bass, the middle and the treble in a clean shape/form with a solid mixing so almost every detail can be heard.

I play the file, in this case an mp3 file using the software combination of Kantaris’ Equalizer Preset called “Clear”, GigaByte’s Equalizer Preset called “Rock” and GigaByte’s Environment Effect called “Carpeted Hallway”. It sounds pretty good, at least with my ears :D

Interested to test it yourself? You can visit Kantaris Homepage to download it. Kantaris is completely free! No hidden fees, spyware or adware.
