media player
Streams your files
A media player is software or a device that plays audio and video files.
On computers and phones, media players handle formats like MP3s, streaming video, and podcasts: VLC is my go-to media player.
Physical media players connect to televisions or stereos to play content from discs, drives, or streaming services.
