In the world of software sometimes simple is better, and SPlayer is a good example of it.
SPlayer is a really lightweight audio and video player that joins the media player category ready to compete against big shots such as Winamp, AIMP, BS.Player and iTunes with its most outstanding features: simplicity of use and economy of system resources.
SPlayer lets you enjoy your favorite music and movies on the computer. It supports an almost endless list of formats, including DVD and streaming media, and features a minimalist interface - almost too minimalist! - that doesn’t interfere with whatever you're playing.
But that's not all: SPlayer also includes some interesting extra characteristics, like support for subtitles, audio and video equalizer, a screenshot tool to capture individual frames and three types of interface – minimal, compact and standard.
In short, SPlayer may not be as full-featured as the other apps I mentioned at the beginning, but it's undoubtedly an excellent choice for those who value efficiency and simplicity.
SPlayer is a lightweight media player with simple design that supports a great variety of formats and includes surprisingly powerful features.

This is an excellent media player, without failing to open any video type I can throw at it. Playback is excellent & smooth. Even better, it has many options to enhance the video display.
Unfortunately, there are drawbacks. The GUI is a hit-or-miss in terms of design . It's very hard to getting used to. It's clean, but renders many options hard to reach. The equalizer is deeply hidden & automatically disappears after a few seconds. The audio option is lacking, crashes when closing the player after playing a video and also nothing can be done to stop the looping playback (due to the auto-create hidden playlist).
Finally, low CPU & memory optimization is up to you to decide, whether you believe or not what the developers claim.
Pros
Many video enhancement options; hardware acceleration support; smooth playback; support all known audio & video formats
Cons
Confusing & clunky interface; lack options for audio; occasional crashes during closing; looping playback can't be configured.
