Songbird

Jamdox reviewed on 10 May 2011

IF you have a couple hundred gigabytes of music on a server on your network and want something that will let you add them to your library and play them before global warming cooks the planet, you want Songbird.

IF you have high quality audio files and want decent quality output, you want Songbird.

If you want either of these things, iTunes just simply sucks. It's DRM-laden crapware, slow as hell, bloated, and sounds bad. iTunes is only good for downloading podcasts and syncing ipods. For everything else, use Songbird.

[Version 1.9.3]

This is based on my subjective experience listening to both: on average, if I listen to a song in Songbird, it sounds better than that song does in iTunes.

Songbird must have at least some different codecs from iTunes, since it supportes file formats iTunes does not. So it likely has different codecs in general.

Perhaps more importantly, it does NOT have "sound enhancer" and other such rubbish features, which probably degrade iTunes' output.

This is not to say Songbird couldn't be better. But iTunes has monopolized the mp3 player market on the Mac, and it's not hard to be better than iTunes.

MPlayer OSX Extended

Jamdox tipped on 17 Oct 2010

I strongly recommend going to the mplayer osx extended website and getting Rev 14 test 2. It works better than rev 13.
