UMPlayer 0.98 free Download

Although the market is full of multimedia players, choosing one that perfectly suits your needs is harder than you think. Some of them need separate codecs in order to work properly, others require all kinds of additional files while the majority has an awful interface and lack important features.

UMPlayer however claims it can do almost everything when it comes to playing multimedia files, mostly because it comes with approximately 270 integrated audio and video codecs that help it in the task of playing files. All packed into a nice and user-friendly application that provides easy access to all these great features.

Don’t be disappointed by the way the installer works, although we admit that sometimes it’s a real pain in the neck to launch an online installer. Still, if you get past this step you will be headed to a common setup during which you have nothing to do than to press the Next button repeatedly.



We were pleasantly surprised by UMPlayer’s interface which not only that it’s clean and simple, but it also comes with theming support, which means you can change the way it looks using downloadable packages. Truth is, the official website of the developer doesn’t comprise too many skins, but it’s still a good idea for this kind of software.

Besides the top menu that provides instant access to most functions of the application, the user can also right click in the main window for some additional options when playing a multimedia file. You can adjust the subtitle, customize the video quality and preferences, modify the audio track and change the program skin on the go.

One of the helpful features integrated into UMPlayer is the subtitle search function which allows you to look for subtitles on OpenSubtitles.org. Unfortunately, it didn’t work for us, as it didn’t return any result for very popular titles such as Seinfeld and Friends which do exist on the subtitle website.

All in all however, UMPlayer is a nice addition to the multimedia player market, although there’s still some work to do. More skins, better functionality but with the same simple and easy to use interface, this could be the path to success.
