Kantaris Media Player - open-source alternative to Windows Media Player

I first posted about KMP (Kantaris Media Player) about a year ago. I've had a chance to try it since then.

It's great. It's also portable. I keep a copy in my Portables folder and I use it more often than VlcMediaPlayer. I almost never use Windows Media Player ... eeeyuck!

Kantaris can play almost anything you can throw at it -- AVI, MPEG, MGEG-AVC, WMV, MOV, MKV, quicktime, matroska, divx, xvid, H264, MP3, WMA, OGG files and more. Kantaris can also play DVDs and audio CDs. The player also displays some of the most beautiful music visualizations ever seen. All this is completely free.
