Compared to VLC mac is rich in media players. I found mac system very functional to use. VLC is a good open source media player available for many platform. You just need to get the dmg file and install that in your system. VLC gives you power to play any kind of media file on your system without worrying about the codec used. So here just by putting it you get full access to your media content with audio boosting abilities.
