Media is a quintessential part of anyone’s life today, at least anyone who is constantly on and about the internet. You always have a Youtuber you love to watch or a cool music video that your friend recommended, but there is always something. Now given our daily media consumption, we obviously need a media player that goes along with it. One can’t have a jittery, ‘lags when you try to watch HD videos’ media player in use once you’ve heard about Elmedia Player Pro for Mac.
Elmedia Player Review

A media player that’s here to literally run every media file on your Mac, or even on the internet! And not only that the app also functions as a Web Browser and an audio player.
Features of Elmedia Player
Handles HD Playback with ease
As said earlier, sometimes machines have a real tough time handling high quality video, and the way the industry is moving today, with HD is soon to be completely replaced by 4K, if your media player is incapable of handling even HD videos then what better time than now to switch over to a more reliable source of entertainment. Elmedia Player Pro uses hardware acceleration in a brilliant manner, wherein not only does it allow seamless playback, but also lets you save power.
Watch videos online
Elmedia Player comes in with an “Open online video” option which allow the user to watch Youtube or DailyMotion video right from the media player itself. And the best part?
This gives you a completely ad free experience. No more waiting 5 seconds to skip the ad or sitting through painstakingly long 30 second ads. If you chose to watch using the “Open Online Video” option you can basically go through entire playlists without having to watch a single ad.
Doubles up as an audio player
Well, the the title does say media player so you wouldn’t actually be wrong in expecting a “media player” to play your audio files for you. But speaking of that there are many media players that support only video formats or only audio formats, but luckily Elmedia Player here, isn’t one of them.
Pro Features
Now Elmedia Player on its own is a free to use Software and it comes bundled in with all the feature we mention above , but if you’re willing to spend the extra 10 bucks and get the Pro version you will be entitled to the following features.
Download Videos
Saving videos is extremely simple with Elmedia Player Pro all you gotta do is switch over to browser mode and hit download once you’re on the video URL. The website doesn’t matter, Youtube, Vimeo, Dailymotion they’ve got it all covered.
Extract Audio
Another brilliant part of the Elmedia Player Pro feature set is the ability to extract audio from video files. This allows you to actually download songs or other audio files in the best available quality without having the scourge the internet for it.
Stream to AirPlay devices
Elmedia Player Pro also gives you the ability to sync up and play your content on any functioning AirPlay devices nearby, without having to convert the video into a supported format.
Elmedia Player is an exceptionally well made media player for Mac as it is, but the Pro version really comes in as a delight for one’s day to day needs.
From the downloading videos feature, right to extracting audio, everything offered in the Pro version makes it well worth the $9.99 you shell out for it.
Would recommend Elmedia Player normally, but would definitely advise you to get the Pro version instead.
