But VLC? Don't make me laugh!

How poor is the quality of the source that you have to worry about such things?

The interface isn't the greatest, but after the codec and media-player hell of the early-2000's, I'm still relieved in not really having to deal with that anymore.

One of the things I do like about VLC is the audio over-volume it has though.
