Chris1976 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Are there any good music players for Mac? For a number of reasons, I'm not a fan of Itunes and I want to find a good alternative. I tried to compile Amarok 2 but I was unsuccessful. I want something light and easy to use, like Amarok or Media Monkey Gold. I tried Songbird, but the lack of an equalizer is a real minus.

ohenryormx Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 iTunes . haha no sorry but i think you won´t find programs which are literally better than iTunes. What are your problems with iTunes? Maybe we can fix these problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1976 Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 One thing I don't like is the way you have to create an account just to get artwork. Another issue is that sometimes the library gets messed up and creates duplicates. On iTunes there's no quick way to erase the duplicates. Also, it just feels so limited compared to players like Media Monkey or Amarok. Those players will monitor a specific folder and update your library accordingly. I haven't found this option in Itunes. Another gripe I have is Quicktime. I've never used it and I don't want to use it, so why should I have to install this {censored}? There are much better programs than itunes, but sadly they haven't been ported to OSX yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohenryormx Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 okay I can understand that but I have an account without any bank details only to get the artwork ! That is quite useful but when does iTunes mess up your libary? Never got that! But the problem with the dublicates is {censored}! And if you use osx you have QuickTime already installed but you don't have to use it! I would recommen vlc for any types of video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontifex22 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Songbird seams to be getting a decent player, but it isn't quite there. All else is troublesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxattack Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 if you want artwork and are too lazy to search for it just use album art thingy it downloads the album art as you play the song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macminiguy Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Try Tonido Jukebox. It doesn't have equalizer though. Tonido Jukebox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
