You can configure Media Center to focus solely on your needs.

Media Center plays:

Connected media from Last.fm, Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube. And it sends to Flickr, Facebook, and Twitter.
From more cell phones, MP3 players, DLNA, and other devices than any other player.

This is literally the only music manager I've found that actually works as expected in Catalina. The GUI has plenty of skins to chose from. This is a librarian, doing what itunes did and then some. The stuff in the app store are just pointless music players. The Mac can do the same thing as them when you press the space bar with an audio file selected.

Don't waste your money, it does not work with mac, is full of bugs, I tried and follow all suggestions in there forum and from other music, sound does not output to external usb Bose USB speakers. The other problem is if it does not work for you they will tell you they don't give refunds, so what you paid for it is forever gone.

I paid them money to get the beta version of this when they were first developing it. When the finished version came out they wanted me to pay again, and I told them to stick it. Even if the app was good I would never give them a dime again.

This application has some powerful features to offer. Especially the conversion features for advanced file formats. However, the bad GUI is sabotaging its usefulness. This would be very attractive with a good and Mac native user interface at a price-point of $30.

Version: 21.0.31

This has the weirdest, most confusing GUI of any player I've used!

I gave it another try and it's still a useless POS!

After installation, every time I used the "Configure Auto-Import" function, the app froze and I had to force quit.
But now as I'm writing this review the importer is actually working...too bad the player isn't.

I got it to import FLAC files and video files from different folders, then added m4a and mp3 tracks from iTunes, but it won't play a single file that it has imported - when I try to play any audio or video file, a message says "something went wrong with playback."

I'm up the JRiver without a player!

WHAT A POS!!!

Yesterday I spent over an hour installing and diagnosing three different versions.
NONE would play anything!

Every time I tried to play a file a window popped up that said "something went wrong with playback."
That's a lot of help, how about telling me WHAT went wrong? The files play fine in Quicktime and VLC and my computer's only 3 weeks old.

There is NO support whatsoever from the company - the only support offered are the forums on their website.
I'm not going to waste my time registering on yet another forum just to find out why their crappy software doesn't work.
If the company truly cared and wanted my money, they would support their product.
