This program has alot of potential but as its still in beta, here's a few things I personally want:
- Ability to browse/organize library based on folders
- improved cue splitting support (some cue + range rips did not split in the library, showed only one big file)
- minimal view (I saw this is coming from Twitter)
Good luck developing this, its already better than iTunes anyhow...so far I prefer Vox because of its ability to handle cues, and very low CPU use, however I think your programs design is the most pleasing to the eye.
Vox, the new de facto audio player for Mac (at least for me). After years of being bothered by iTunes and I have had a falling out as of late. Reasons include clunkiness, bugginess, and inability to organize a music library in a coherent manner, not to mention Apple proprietary audio format hegemony. Dear lord have I wasted 10s of hours organizing music on iTunes and converting music foolishly to m4a format. There has never really been an attractive alternative for macs, until now that is.
Digressing, Vox is an invigorating breath of fresh air. It plays essentially every file format, allowing you to keep your music files in pristine condition (no need for converting), and allows you to organize your own damn music library. What won me over is the ability to play cue files of a single file CD rip, as well as spc files form SNES music. Vox can even convert your files to other formats if you're too lazy to use one of the standalone alternatives. There's tons of features and all are easily accessible within its elegant design.
For those of you saying iTunes can't be replaced due to its library/playlist functionality, just organize your music in this format (faster than iTunes loading and browsing imo):
-put each album complete in its own folder w/ a cover art (which Vox can read w/o writing to file), place them in a central folder (for me the default Music folder on my system disk)
-Pin that folder to your Dock so that its easily accessible with a single click. Set that folder alias to display as folder and list, and set music file launch services to auto open with Vox. Now when you click that folder, instant playlist/folder structure without any program interface Ð and files open immediately with Vox. (don't forget to back up your music...)
