There are many media players out there, with all sorts of advanced features, but if you want a simple one, to watch videos or play music, without encountering too many options, then you would have to spend some time to find it. In this particular case, Lumia Player is exactly what you are looking for. The player is designed to be as simple as possible, but it still provides a few extra features, which are very easy to understand.

Lumia Player is offered free of charge and you can have it up and running in no time, on any modern Windows platform. Its hardware requirements are modest, so you can run it even on older machines. Also, there is no need to install any additional codecs or other prerequisite tools, so you can start playing your media files right away.

The application comes with a clean and simple user interface. Besides local video and audio files, you can also play media from a URL, which you have to paste on a small dialog. The playback controls are located in the lower region of the interface, among other useful options. Once a file is loaded, you may click these options to go to full screen mode or to display information about the file, which may include artist and album name, year, a cover image and more.

It is also possible to change a file's playback speed, in a settings menu, which can be displayed just like the file information panel. Another useful feature is the possibility of converting the currently loaded media file. All you have to do is select a media format in a drop menu and click a button. Lumia Player provides support for a vast range of video and audio formats, including popular ones, like AVI, MP4, WMV, MP3, WAV or OGG. Furthermore, the application is capable of converting media files in just a few seconds, without asking for any further user input. The converted files are stored automatically in the same folder as the original.

Pros

The player has a simple and elegant design. It allows you to play local video and audio files, as well as web media. Lumia Player can display information about the loaded files and it is capable of converting the files as well.

Cons

The player doesn't come with any volume controls and you can't jump to a specific point in the video or song, by clicking its progress bar. If you wish to play your music or videos without any kind of complications, then Lumia Player is the application you should look for.
