You can't say it's just another player - it has the air of personality around it. First of all, it lets you customize everything pretty easily - note the volume/contrast/etc. controls that are the most usable so far among many media players.

To that end, Zoom Player employs a slick and simple user interface, combined with easy to access features while at the same time providing advanced control dialogs over every feature imaginable.
