評価とレビュー

NASにあるアクセス制限を設定した共有フォルダにSMBでアクセスしようとすると、何度もログイン名とパスワードを求められアクセスできません。もちろんパスワードを保存するにチェックを入れてもだめです。この現象の解消方法があれば、文句なしなんですが。

2023年の更新停止から一年経ちましたが、今も主力プレーヤーとして愛用させて頂いています🌟ただ、動作がやや重く、イコライザーもやや使いにくい点があり、特にスナップバンド機能はまとめてカーブできて便利かもしれませんが、アプリがハングアップしやすくなる上に、解除しても常時オンに戻るのは、中級者の私にはお節介と感じています。その上曲数が多いと楽曲データベースが肥大化しがちなので、私のように5000曲も入れているとあっという間に1GBも圧迫されてしまいます。他社のプレーヤーだとここまで肥大化しないので、音楽用としては不向きかもしれません。なので最近動画専用に格下げしました。 数少ない完全無料の素敵なプレーヤーアプリなので、今後更新再開の暁に、これらが改善されることを願っています。

昔から愛用しており、動きも軽くUIもシンプルで使いやすい。 しかし、m4aのデータを再生後に高確率でクラッシュしてしまう。 プレイリストの中にm4aとmp3が混在していると、m4aの再生後にmp3を5秒ほど再生した後にクラッシュしてしまったりする。 原因がどこにあるかは分からないが、他のプレーヤーだと正常に再生されるのでVLC固有なのではないかと考えている。
