Interesting that Flac now supports album art, a nice bonus from when I was last using Flac with SongBird. Great fun to re-rip my favourite albums into lossless and have a dedicated player to enjoy them, still using iTunes as my gross player as I've hundreds of albums on iTunes Match, best of both world though, now!
Full screen compatibility on OS X means Swinsian lives in its own space :-)
I also like the imaginative name, Proto-Germanic *swinisōną, from Proto-Germanic *swin- ("to sound")... very clever!
Now give a full 5 Stars...

These are the only paths I can identify that Swinsian uses, any others?
/Applications/Swinsian.app
~/Library/Application Support/Swinsian
~/Library/Preferences/com.swinsian.Swinsian.plist
Specifically [Track Inspector] seems to remember its edited state between uninstall and reinstall. I would have presumed the .plist is the file used to remember 'state'.
This is only due to me learning how to use this programme alongside iTunes library, editing album tags and translating edits back into Swinsian as the [Rescan iTunes library every time Swinsian is opened] option doesn't seem to catch tagging changes. I have a very large Classical Collection and am quite fussy with correct tagging. I'm so far very glad I found this application, I'm very excited!

Really liking Swinsian! This may finally be a replacement for iTunes.

- It handles large music databases with ease,
- it still has the cover art display in the lower left corner that Apple removed from iTunes,
- It is quite good at finding cover artwork
- no irksome ties to the iTunes store, no telling Apple what you are listening to,
- it needs less resources than iTunes and has all the great features one can wish for in order to manage and organize music files.
I have tried about everything that I could find out there to replace iTunes. Swinsian is the one, I am not looking back.

Coming off from Windows where I used foobar2000, for myself, I found Swinsian to be the best choice to switch to.
This software is worth its price.

Does what it states, and does it well.
My preferred choice.

Beware if you use this app, your music will always be yours and you get to decide how and where to store and manage it. No intrusion from Cupertino here.
It doesn't do books, videos, apps, shopping nor smoked sausages. It does music fantastically well.

1. CPU usage lower.
2. Jump to the current song that begins playing.
Is this a bug: When I click the "Currently playing" -option, the playlist order messes up (if ordered by artist for example).
+1
This was something that always annoyed me about iTunes - it would jump somewhere else while I was browsing the library, which is why Swinsian doesn't do it, but you can always see the current track by selecting 'Jump To Current Track' from the View menu, or opening the 'Currently Playing' list, where the current track will be at the top.
The 'Currently Playing' view shows the current track followed by a queue of tracks that are going to be played next, which you can sort/rearrange by dragging them etc. These tracks will be in the order they were in when you started playing them (i.e. when you double clicked a track). Rearranging or sorting tracks in other playlists or 'All Tracks' won't alter the currently playing queue order. You can also insert items into this queue, for example by right clicking a track and selecting 'Play Next'.
Hope that helps, feel free to email me if you have ideas for options to change this behaviour that you would like me to consider (support@swinsian.com).

Tried double clicking on it, nothing seems to happen.
No acknowledgement of registration in software. No Help in Swinsian Help. Website Support FAQ tells me SFA!
After double clicking the licence file you should get a confirmation dialog telling you the app has been registered, and the trial time limit text will disappear from the corner of the window. Let me know if you are still having issues (support@swinsian.com).
