I use WinAmp to DJ dances as a hobby, not a profession (it’s a cottage thing). I have both a Windows laptop and Mac laptop (one is employer’s). This app seems to be exactly as described and it is almost exactly what I was looking for as an alternative to iTunes (on the Mac) for sampling or testing MP3s without having to import into my iTunes library. I just stumbled on to this app just now and tried it. It supports a variety of music file formats including FLAC, MP3, AAC, Musepack, Monkey’s Audio, OGG Vorbis, Apple Lossless, AIFF, WAV, IT, MOD, XM and Games Music and it is completely free. Vox is a simple and lightweight music player (not an iTunes alternative!) that provides quite a lot of options. Last.fm/Audio Scrobbling is also supported. You can enable/disable Growl notifications, change the interface, window behavior and much more. Preferences are well-organized and let you set Vox according to your needs. With Vox you can also export an audio file into one of the other supported file formats with enabled effects. As you can see on the screenshot below, you have options for Time Stretch, Pitch Shift, Chorus, Reverb/Distortion, Echo/Compressor, Flanger/Phaser. Vox gives you the opportunity to add various music effects on the track that is currently played. You can select one of the preset equalizer settings, or customize them. The equalizer window can be opened via the main window. The Vox dock icon is pretty slick, and has an animated badge that shows the current track’s progress (position). Therefore you can easily select another track without going back to the Finder.īy clicking on the i button on the top-right corner, you get some extended info about the audio file, as well as view the associated artwork (if present). While playing an audio file, Vox automatically adds on the playlist all other audio files that can be found on the source folder. The main window (as shown below) gives you the basic info of the track, as well as the default playback controls. Vox has an excellent minimal interface, which rapidly fires up and does its job, i.e. The application that I liked most as you can figure out, is Vox. Thus I went through Google and some of my favorite Mac forums to find a decent free mp3 player. I had occassionally skipping on tracks, and the interface isn’t specifically built for music files. VLC is an excellent video player, with lots of options, but as an mp3 player was pretty poor (at least on the Mac). When I became a Mac, I tried using VLC for that matter. When I used to be a PC, Winamp was the perfect solution for quickly playing mp3 files. Or if I plug-in an old disk with mp3 files, and want to play easily a selection of them. However there are certain occasions that I would like to play an mp3 with a player other than iTunes:įor example, before adding a new track on the iTunes library, I first have to quickly listen to it and evaluate it. It is a fantastic media player and organizer, with all the playlist options, the Genius feature, the iTunes store etc. First of all I have to mention that I love iTunes.
