One problem is what are your criteria for "better"?
As a for instance, I want a music player that handles flac and ogg files and that I can access in a terminal. Low memory usage is important to me also. I use cmus on a Mac, and I like it quite a lot.
- samps 17y agoIf you're interested, I'm working on a command-line music organizer: http://code.google.com/p/beets/ http://code.google.com/p/beets/ It has an MPD clone player built-in, so you can use ncmpc with it if you want. Or just keep using cmus.
- squidsoup 17y agoThere's support, albiet indirectly, for flac in iTunes via Fluke. http://blowintopieces.com/fluke/ http://blowintopieces.com/fluke/
- ZeroGravitas 17y agoApple's refusal to support FLAC, in favour of their own crappy rip-off (which they refuse to licence to 3rd parties) was, for me personally, the moment they jumped the shark. I feel later developments have borne this out. I mean you can buy music from Metallica and The Beatles in FLAC format. If Metallica and The Beatles are out ahead of you on some aspect of digital music, it's time for a rethink.
