Adobe Media Player
What is Adobe Media Player?
Adobe Media Player is a desktop media player that allows users to manage and interact with their media content, and allows content publishers to define branding and advertising in and around their content. The Adobe Media Player was one of the first Adobe AIR applications from Adobe Systems. The player is designed to allow users to subscribe to webcasts from various providers to be either streamed or download for viewing offline. Adobe had signed CBS, PBS, MTV Networks, Universal Music Group, CondeNet, and Scripps Networks as partners
