What is the best alternative to iTunes 11 on OS X? [duplicate]
With the recent features added to iTunes player I find it to be pretty heavy and resources consuming, just to do just what I would like it to do, which is play music. It is almost becoming a full OS which I do not like.
Therefore, I'd like to find something lightweight to build some playlists based on the music I have on my hard-drive, possibly free (but not a requisite). Do you have any alternatives which you would like to share?
Solution 1:
I suggested you try SongBird.
also you can choose:
- PicoPlay
- VoxApp
- Banshee
Solution 2:
After doing a Google quest for a free audio player I found Instinctiv.
It has a great UI and Mac look and calls itself "A Better Music Experience". Is anyone aware of this application? How do you feel about it?
After a little test drive with the software I can say that it really is an enjoyable experience and the announced smart shuffle is a nice feature. It uses the iTunes library so you can just press play and you'll be fine.
Solution 3:
Vox (free with in-app purchase)
A great simple application for music playing. I love this app. It's sooo simple to use and to use. It also integrates nicely with your iTunes library (if you so desire).
