AppStore price is $2.99.

iTunes uses 3.2/3.3% range of CPU. Enqueue uses 4.0/4.3 range. Not a big deal. The HUGE difference is in RAM. iTunes is at 221 MB Real & 348 Virtual. Enqueue is at 90 R & 133 V. Now *that* is significant. Now, after quitting iTunes and Enqueue and purging RAM, playing a 10 MB MP3 from boot drive, iTunes is at 118 R & 133 V; Enqueue at 60 R & 103 V. This is with 8 GB RAM, BTW.

My issue is with wireless network. WAY too many dropouts on a 30 MB ALAC file. This might account for the differences in RAM. iTunes may be loading more of it into RAM. For sure Decibel does. I also don't have dropouts like this with Swinsian.

Speaking of which, until Enque gets Airplay support I will consider it seriously lacking for my uses. But for a an alternative to iTunes playing locally stored files, it's certainly making it's way. I'd prefer the bottom placed control/info bar be on top and the Library/Playlists, etc. on the bottom. Between the two I use the former more. Really like the Info pane. The History presentation is nice. Really do not like the contents of the currently playing Playlist showing in the Mini-Player, unless I'm missing something.

$30 for this piece of malarkey?! I had great memory of v1 so just to kill some time tried this out. I couldn't be bothered to get beyond the first 5 minutes during which I noted: 1) Once invoked you can't get anywhere without choosing an item. Real PITA when you have a hot corner set and accidentally hit it. 2) It uses the entire screen leaving only the bottom strip area for a dock.

And then there's the memory hit: 361MB VirtualMemory 519MB Real! That's absurd. I admit to being tempted to actually use it for a few hours to see if it blew up my 8GBs.

I like this approach. No menu bar icon taking space. No processes always running. FinderPop continues to work. I even like that new items do show until the routines are next run giving me the opportunity to see new things afresh.

I don't think I've ever commented/reviewed without actually trying an app. But this is the exception.

They say "Quite simply the most efficient, easy-to-use, most powerful audio CD ripping and encoding application out there."

Uh, XLD and Max do all this and more. XLD uses the most modern ripping engine and it's log makes EAC users drool (OK, exageration).

What's worse is there is no mention here or on their site of how the ripping is done. And we're supposed to pay before laying eyes on it?
