Amen. I've moved to Songbird for playing music on my Mac. It's not perfect, but I prefer it to iTunes. And there's nothing out there that's more compelling. I still use iTunes to sync my phone, but that's what I've come to see iTunes as - a store + a syncing platform, not a music player. There's a real market opportunity sitting there for a slim, slick music player on the Mac.
- unalone 17y agoDoes Songbird still stop playing music when you X out of it? Because that was disgraceful.
- Radix 17y agoI tried it recently and [it looks like you need an add on.] But I didn't like that it didn't recognize the group by artist flag iTunes uses. And I couldn't set up album-by-artist. And it seemed to use more ram. But, it looks a lot nicer to me. [edit]
- tjstankus 17y agoA comment in the techcrunch post tipped me off to http://ecouteapp.com/ http://ecouteapp.com/ Liking it so far.
- puffythefish 17y agoWow, that's a very nice app.
- shiranaihito 17y agoMe too, although I never really used iTunes along the way. I tried to live with Cog, and Play, but both sucked. Songbird still needs ReplayGain support, and global hotkeys. Then it will be a tolerable alternative for foobar2000.
