While many of our readers probably don't have a Media Player, for others, it has become an integral part of their entertainment within the house. Primarily, these devices allow you to store all of your Music and Films in one central location which can then be accessed by your TV or other computers. In theory, it eliminates the need for a DVD player and a large stack of DVD's, or more recently blu-ray discs.
