Mplayer como alternativa Linux a Windows Media Player (wmp)
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
MPlayer is a capable replacement for Windows Media Player if you're comfortable with command-line tools and don't need a graphical library. It plays nearly all audio and video formats out of the box, including MP3, MP4, AVI, and WMV, and handles subtitles well. However, it lacks a built-in media library, playlist manager, or album art support—those require external tools or frontends. It's ideal for users who prioritize playback flexibility and low resource use over convenience. For casual users expecting a point-and-click experience, it's not a direct fit.

MPlayer can play most files used in Windows Media Player, including MP3, AAC, WAV, MP4, WMV, and AVI. It handles common container formats and codecs directly, so your existing media files will likely work without conversion. It does not rely on Windows-specific formats like WMA Pro or DRM-protected files, which may not play. If your files are standard consumer formats, MPlayer will open them.
