'''BS.Player''' made by the [[Slovenia]]n software company [[Webteh]] is a [[media player (application software)|media player]] for [[Windows OS]], that plays back many kinds of [[multimedia]] files (including [[Audio Video Interleave|AVI]], [[MPEG]], [[Ogg]], [[Matroska]], [[Advanced Systems Format|ASF]], [[QuickTime]], [[MP4]], [[WAV]], [[mp3]]...) and specializes in video and audio playback.

BS.Player, like most media players, requires that the correct [[codecs]] and splitters are installed beforehand to play back formats that are not supported by default.
It comes in three versions: FREE, PROlite and PRO. FREE is spyware-supported, while PRO is a commercial version. The latest version is 2.28.

The current release supports Windows 2000, XP and [[Windows Vista|Vista]], however, older releases also supported [[Windows 98]] and [[Windows ME]].

== History ==

Beginning with version 1.38, the free version of BS.Player was bundled with an [[adware]] package called [[WhenU]] by the authors in an effort to pay the development costs. The free version will not work if the user removes WhenU with an anti-adware utility.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.benedelman.org/spyware/whenu-privacy/ |title=WhenU Violates Own Privacy Policy |last=Edelman |first=Benjamin |date=2004-07-01 |accessdate=2006-12-22}}</ref>.  However, older versions of the program can be obtained from [http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=bsplayer OldVersion.com].

In September 2007, WhenU Save adware program was exchanged with MeMedia AdVantage (http://memedia.com/).
