VLC media player, alternative Linux à Windows Media Player (wmp)

Notre avis

VLC is a solid replacement for Windows Media Player for most users. It plays the same core audio and video formats, manages playlists, shows album art, and supports subtitles without extra plugins. The UI is slightly different but functional. Users who need advanced library features or tight Windows integration may prefer the native player, but for everyday playback and basic organization VLC works well on Linux.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Windows Media Player (wmp)

VLC can open most media files that WMP plays, including .mp3, .aac, .wav, .mp4, .avi, .wmv, and DVD files. It can read Windows Media Player playlist files (.wpl) if you import them, but it does not export to .wpl. For WMP‑specific libraries or metadata stored in Windows Media Player’s database, VLC will not import those directly; you may need to export the library to a generic format first.

Passer de Windows Media Player (wmp) à VLC media player, étape par étape

  1. Install VLC from your distro’s package manager or Flathub (v3.0.23).
  2. Open Windows Media Player’s library or playlist files and export them to a common format (e.g., M3U).
  3. Import the exported playlist into VLC via File → Open Playlist.
  4. Use VLC’s library feature (View → Playlist) to organize media and add album art.
  5. Adjust subtitle settings in Tools → Preferences if needed.
  6. If you need Windows‑specific DRM content, you’ll need a separate solution; VLC cannot play protected files.
