Lifehacker Awards 2014: Best Media Player

The triumphs continue in the Lifehacker Awards 2014! This morning, we’re revealing the winner of Best Media Player.

Readers’ Choice: XBMC


There’s a whole lotta love for XBMC out there — so much so that we’d question the wisdom of the forthcoming name change to Kodi. Available on a huge range of platforms and constantly evolving, it’s a fabulous media tool — especially once you power it up with extensions. Picture: Wikimedia Commons

Editor’s Pick: VLC


VLC is usually the second piece of software I install on any new machine (Chrome comes first). It’s lightweight, efficient, and can handle any media format you’re likely to encounter. Plus it has stacks of hidden features

Thanks everyone for voting! Keep checking back throughout the week for more winners.
