Amongst the must-have software that you are required to install in order to make use of your favorite audio files on any given PC, multimedia players make room in various discussions.
Although there are users who would rather prefer to use classic, yet up-to-date players such as Windows Media Player (which is also integrated into any Windows operating system), there are still apps that can make use of your media files in an intuitive way and here is where joesVLC comes in handy.
joesVLC is a practical and reliable utility whose main purpose is to help users play various video and audio files. It is, by definition, an application that supports all media formats, regardless of their nature, and here we are speaking about MP4, AVI, FLV, OGG, MPEG and many other formats.
As its name states, joesVLC is an enhanced version of the well-known VLC media player, however it offers simpler ways to handle the playlist and all the available menus.
When you launch the application for the first time, you will probably notice that the menu toolbar does not exist anymore. Still, you can play your favorite files by using the options which become available from the right-click menu. This way, you are able to play entire folders from your system or from CDs effortlessly.
Although the main interface is not special at all, it is an excellent solution for those who just want to open multimedia files without wasting their time. In fact, this is the main purpose of joesVLC: play your favorite audio and video files without getting blocked with clustered menus and advanced options that you will never use because you might not need them.
What’s quite interesting at this application is that it provides you with a unique playlist view, different from the VLC media player. However, it does not allow you to open more than one file simultaneously like the latter does, still you can open an entire folder to play.
The program also displays a wide variety of information regarding the opened files such as title, artist, genre, publisher and copyright. You can sort all the available files by artist, URL and album, as well as change playlist view mode to Icon or Detailed View.
The Tools section enables you to access various options such as ‘Effects and Filters’, ‘Plugins and extensions’ and ‘Preferences’ and customize the application the way you want.
Overall, joesVLC makes a good impression and provides you with a configurable interface and with an excellent functionality, supporting any available video and audio format.
