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´m using the cog player. pretty simple but it does the job
Winamp is now available for mac 
..
Vlc
This…if you don’t know what VLC is, VideoLan will help with the google search.
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
my favorite here
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.
winamp for mac - total crap…

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.
that’s exactly what i do, i use VLC just for my recordings and stuff i’m not going to import to my library.. it would be so nice to have a proper audio player like itunes that would play flac files aswell and that’s what i’m looking for.
vlc is the way to go. itunes pretty much sucks for anything else than mp3, m4a or wav.
Cog.
And there’s supposedly a way to get iTunes to play flac files, but I just never cared enough to bother.
Recently, I’ve been trying Enqueue, but if you don’t like iTunes, you probably won’t like it.
another vote for VLC here.
