What is Portable VLC media player

The Portable VLC Media Player is a program that you can place on any computer you own. This player allows you to listen to music, watch movies and download the content to your computer. This player can become the default player for your computer, or you can use this player for a specific task on your computer.

Pros

• The VLC Media Player will play every CD or DVD you put in your machine. The player can automatically start playing the disc so that you can enjoy quickly.
• You can use the functions on the player to download the content from the disc to your computer. You can rip all the files to your computer, or you can rip the tracks individually and name them as you like.
• You can use the VLC Media Player to play music in the background as you work on your computer or in your office.
• The VLC Media Player can be placed on your task bar or start menu so that it is always right at your fingertips.

Cons

• Running the VLC Media Player in the background on your computer could wear down your battery. You must be careful if you cannot plug in your computer, and you must be even more careful if your battery is generally weak.
• The VLC Media Player cannot download every file on a DVD or CD. There are albums that are protected from downloading, and you must be sure you understand the implications of downloading these files.
• This media player can be set as your default media player, but it may be best for you to keep it to the side for a specific task. Do not set up this program as your default if you rarely use it.

The VLC Media Player can serve a good media player on your machine, but you must remember that it cannot download every file you have. The program has limitations, and this may not be the right media player for you.
