![]() Vox Supports AU! Although created by apple, these features are not accessible in iTunes, and these are some serious features. However, there are more serious audiophile features, which is featured in part 4. There’s also a radio feature, if you make a small donation to the makers of Vox. There is also handful of fancy features, such as remote support and even BS2B presets like Chu Moy. Vox will even automatically adjust the output sample rate to match that of the audio file being played. ![]() For example, when you are browsing online, you can have the Mac output set to built in speakers and mute it, and have Vox output to your DAC, and only your music will be played through your headphones. This also means that you can just listen to music on a specific output(which is a bit different from using MIDI Setup). Simple EQ, and more importantly, the ability to choose different output source. It supports just about any file you can think of. Vox has some of the best designs I’ve ever seen. So.here are reasons why you should use Vox: Here are reasons why you should use Vox if you have a Mac. This year, Vox had a major update, and the new interface and features are shockingly awesome. I hereby introduce Vox! Vox is a fairly new music player, created around 2012 or 2013. After about 5 years of searching, I think I concluded on a “perfect music player” for Mac. I’ve used Macs for about 5 years now(13in Macbook Pro, 11in Macbook Air, and now a 13in Macbook Air). There certainly are other softwares for music playback, but all of them were heavy and laggy, not to mention the cost and the not so user-friendly UI. I always found this ironic, as iTunes lacks audiophile features that other Windows OS players(ex.foobar2000) had. Also, editing track info is awkward compared to iTunes.you have to select a track, mouse to the edit window and edit your info, mouse back to track listing and select the next track, then mouse back to the edit window - there should be a "next" button like in iTunes.ĭespite these small issues (and a few others), for me Swinsian is a step up from iTunes and/or the Music App and was well worth the $25.There are lots of audiophiles using Macs. Even if it did, the lyrics window is way too small and can't be resized. And while Swinsian did import all my playlists, album art and star ratings, it didn't import my lyrics. I get the Column Browser back which the Music App took away, I no longer have to convert FLAC files to an iTunes readable format (a big time saver for me), and it's much zippier.iTunes (and the Music App) always had a 2 or 3 second lag when switching songs which never bothered me, but I think after using Swinsian that lag would bug me if I had to switch back to the Music App. I purchased Swinsian a week ago and I'm really liking it. I paid full price for this software and am disappointed that such a simple yet important feature is still nowhere to be seen. ![]() Among the many different applications I have running on a regular basis, this has been only one that has yet to give my eyes a rest even among a bunch of other third-party developers. More importantly, if the developers are reading this, please PLEASE implement a dark mode soon. A simple "lock" button next to the size slider would completely fix the issue. Aside from a couple issues I've had, Swinsian makes other Mac OS music players look like a joke.Ĭhanging the grid's icon size is an exception to the lag-free experience and is especially frustrating because it's extremely easy to mess everything up with an accidental zoom gesture and go through the laggy, frustrating process of getting it to the right size again and again. The overall lack of fluff while still having a fantastic interface is a godsend. The customizability has allowed me to arrange the interface exactly to my liking. I'm at over 250gb of lossy audio (about 30k files) myself and experience little to no lag when navigating the browsers and art grid. Definitely the best music player around for big libraries.
