Best features

Equalizer: now you get a built-in equalizer for your audio and videos to boost all the bass and treble as you like

Interesting UI
BS.Player is a free media player, but it has an intriguing user interface, to say the least. When you play an audio or a video, it opens in two different screens; one is the window in which the file is playing, and the other is the one with all the options of the player and the UI itself. While some users may prefer it this way, modern players have moved from this approach to a single-screen one to keep it simple.
Worth installing?
BS.Player is a free and powerful multimedia player that comes with tons of supported file formats and codecs. You will not have any complaints from that department. The user interface does look quite dated though, but if you can make peace with that, there are no other shortcomings with this one.
