If you want to play some music or a video file inside Windows, but you don't have any other media player software besides Windows Media Player, you will find that you cannot play all your desired audio and video files, due to the limited support for media formats offered by Windows Media Player. In this situation, you will need to install an additional application for playing media files.

One such application is Nightingale. This Windows program offers extensive support for a wide range of audio and video formats, as it uses various codecs and plugins for this purpose. After the program is installed and launched for the first time, the user will be taken through a step by step wizard, in which he can choose the media files folder and also select the additional plugins which should be added to the application. In case one doesn't want to add any additional plugins or addons, he can skip this step and access it later on from the program's options.

After the wizard is completed, the user will be able to see all his media files in the program's interface. Nightingale supports ID3 tag information and can display various information regarding each audio file or video, like the artist, album, year of release and so on. Playing any of the imported media files can be performed just by double-clicking on the media file. In order to differentiate videos from songs, the user can access the menu located in the left part of the interface, for displaying only videos or only songs in the main interface.

All the media files shown in the interface can be saved as a playlist file and re-imported into the application later on. The playlist format is also compatible with other media players, including the one which is included in Windows by default. What's more, the included equalizer allows you to find-tune sound and improve the audio quality of poor recorded songs.

Pros

It offers support for a wide range of video and audio formats. Furthermore, it can read the ID3 tag information of every song. What's more, you can save the list of songs and videos as a playlist file. Moreover, the included equalizer enables you to fine-tune sound.

Cons

Some audio or video format can only be played by installing an additional plugin or codec. Using Nightingale you can play almost any audio or video file format without any problems.
