    Default please recommend a good audio player for mac?

    there's nothing wrong with iTunes.. ..except that it doesn't play Flac format audio files, this made me swap it for Songbird... which i really like, but it's freezing like crazy... i was so happy with winamp when i was on a regular pc... please recommend me something?

    I use iTunes for mp3s, vlc for everything else. VLC plays everything I've ever thrown at it.

    I was never a fan of iTunes, but I learned that sometimes its not a bad idea to conform when everyone else in the world uses it, it's integrated into tractor, I need it for my phone, etc. Might as well just use and learn to live with it.

    sure i do use VLC, but mainly for videos, can't really imagine it as an audio player for some reason. Maybe i should give it a try

    That's the one big reason I stay away from FLAC, and other non-supported in itunes kinds of files. Not that I don't know their worth... but I moved from WinAmp on a PC over integrating everything over to iTunes.

    I just can't be bothered to have ANOTHER program in which to deal with stuff in. Serato and iTunes is enough for me.

    Aww man, you shouldn't hate on FLAC, it's a quality lossless codec that does a great job at what it does. It's been around for years.

    I do get your point though, having another program on your computer just to play a file is a pain. VLC is nice though because it plays video files too. It's probably the best video player out there in my opinion. I have it on every computer I own.

    It doesn't make a bad audio player either - I use it mostly to listen to my recordings, where I don't want to import them into iTunes, nor open them in my music editor - just give them a quick once off and then be done with them.
    nope.
