VLC

Seeing VLC take runner-up in the audio player category makes this victory a no-brainer. VLC plays just about any sort of video you throw at it. I think if you shove a paper flip book into your floppy drive, VLC will animate it on-screen for you. VLC takes such a huge margin this year, we almost didn't include MPlayer as a runner-up. VLC is the favorite, without question. (Note: we don't actually recommend shoving a paper flip book into your floppy drive.)
