Indeed, the amount of options in Zoom Player available will intimidate anyone that just wants a playback application.

These advanced features include a station manager (for streaming radio and TV channels), skin changer and media library editor. The symbols used in the menu aren't particularly helpful as they look like hieroglyphs so your only option is to work out what each one does by trial and error. By clicking on the circle of dots in the bottom right hand corner however, you reveal a top bar within the main screen which is packed with features. Zoom Player's interface is slimline but expandable very easily. Finally, the professional version also supports playback of DRM protected movies and music (Windows Media DRM). Zoom Player's professional version however comes with a whole lot more power, including a more powerful Playlist Manager, added safety features (such as password protection), Media Definitions plus Web Remote (so you can control Zoom Player from your web browser) and an Extended command line interface, exposing many Zoom Player functions directly from the command line. The basic version of Zoom Player comes installed with a graphic equalizer, playlist editor and everything else that you'd expect in a basic player. If you just want a bare bones media player, then you may be better opting for something like VLC Media Player but Zoom Player lets you have your cake and eat it if you need something with a little more to offer. It's a unique offering and chances are that if you've found your current player lacking in some department, you'll find what you're looking for in Zoom Player.
