media player for Windows. Among the numerous improvements and new features in v1.62,

formats and codecs it plays.

The ALShow Free Media Player includes codecs for most popular media types such as

codecs, the media player automatically detects the missing codec and prompts the
user to download and install the right one, eliminating the need to search for

are all free, just like the media player itself.

doesn\'t sacrifice powerful features, but rather makes various features simple to use
for novice computer users. More advanced power users can access any feature or tweak
settings within two clicks.

Commenting on its user-friendliness a spokesperson for ESTsoft said, \"While the
ALShow Free Media Player is really designed more for playing movies and DVDs, we
have people using it for playing music, even though we also have a fantastic music
player that even plays synchronized lyrics. Some people really just identify with
the clean, smooth appearance of ALShow and are happy with it as their primary music
player.\"

Language support is strong in the ALShow Free Media Player with seven languages
currently available: Catalan, English, French, Italian, Korean, Polish and Spanish.
Most translations are submitted by generous users willing to donate their efforts to
other ALTools users.

The media player includes features geared towards education such as the ability to
loop video segments and change video playback speeds, useful for both fast-paced
