Ask HN: Favorite music player for OSX?

7 pointsthronemonkey17 comments

I have been dissatisfied with iTunes of late and am seeking a new music player. I've tried a number of them, clementine (http://code.google.com/p/clementine-player/) is my favorite so far. What are Mac users on HN using to listen to music?

Sonora is my current favourite. http://getsonora.com/

Wow looks cool! Might give it a whirl.

Tomahawk from http://toma.hk , simply awesome. Edit: It can get songs from a lot of sources and the interface is smooth too.

Cog: http://cogx.org

Still using this on OSX ML, works great if you just want a very simple, easy-to-use music player.

BTW, I personally hate iTunes. :-P

Cmus, http://cmus.sourceforge.net/ It's a commandline app with last.fm support

Vox, "the lightweight music app" from http://voxapp.didgeroo.com/

Shame it's currently broken in Mountain Lion.

Damn! Just installed ML, I was hoping to check it out :(

i soft launched http://cloudplay.fm into beta today on HN (see [1] for the discussion). it's what i use every day, and i'd love to convert you as a user :)

It looks pretty slick, but really what I'm looking for is something to manage the huge library of music files I've managed to accumulate :/ Streaming music is exciting, but not the focus I'm looking for. Thanks for the suggestion though!

YouTube. Not a music player but works great

ncmpcpp for the mpd-server in my local network.

when it comes to unix, I use ncmpcpp + mpd :D

looks interesting, a command line player might be just what the doctor ordered.

If you're in this kind of thing you might have a look at Vitunes http://vitunes.org/. Basically it's vi for music.

Personally most of the times I just dump a file in terminal using afplay. It only uses a ridiculously small amount of ressources and that's what I'm after.

Spotify

linux
