About BS.Player

BS.Player is a veteran Windows media player that has been around for more than two decades, known for low CPU use and a skinnable interface. It plays common video and audio formats including AVCHD, MKV and WebM, handles subtitles well with automatic subtitle download, and supports multiple audio tracks. The free version covers everyday playback; BS.Player PRO is a paid upgrade that adds extra features such as video capture and wider format support. There are also Android versions. It is translated into more than 90 languages. Development is slower than in its heyday and the interface shows its age, but it remains a light option for older PCs. It suits people who want a small, skinnable player and are happy with Windows only on desktop.

Best for: Windows users with older PCs who want a light, skinnable player.
