For Windows PCs, you can download this software from the official download page at: Īt the download page mentioned above, there are three file types which can be used to install VLC Media Player in your Windows Machine:Īn Exe Installer Package: A direct installing. And also the adorable modern skin.VLC Media Player is one of the best media players out there and it is available as a free download. The clear playback with no performance problems is my top priority. I'm going back to those crashes and window control issues. On win, I used to go Winamp even all these after the support ended, but lately I'm having some crashes and window control issues with multiple screens, so I considered switching to vlc as my primary audio player. But if it stacks some too many times (probably 25 cents or even more) then it goes back up after some 3 seconds.īoth these drive me crazy and also the fact this is the best player for Android, having only usable eq I've found. I've tried every friggin setting there is in the application, yet to no avail.Īlso, the last version update on windows started to lose rate every time I use skip and the effect stacks until I stop the playback and stay out again. On multiple Android phones vlc slows the rate a bit after starting playback and then speeds up a bit, most probably to compensate. Since it happens on Windows XP here I posted it in this forum, I hope that was right. I'm sure the most basic job - playing back audio files (it happens on WAV as well) - is supposed to be working flawlessly and hence I call it a "serious glitch". This does not happen always and it comes at random, but always somewhat into the file, mostly near the end. Here's the nominal pitch of the test tone (MIDI playable tone generator, hence not exactly 1kHz) played back by VLC:Īnd here is what happens after a while on VLC playback:Īs you can see, the pitch drifts up by 10Hz which is not neglectable.
Here's what it sounds if I playback the two tracks together at the same level:
Then I played the file back in VLC and recorded its output to the next track in the DAW. I recorded a 2 minute test tone in my DAW software and rendered it as MP3 (160kBit/s CBR). Now I had this phenomenon again on the 4th computer with a clean VLC 0.8.6i install and decided to document that. Being a musician, I'm probably a bit more sensitive to variations in pitch and wondered why VLC sounds sometimes like a broken record player. I think I found a funny but serious glitch: Audio file playback is changing the playrate slightly upwards at times.
