Tiny Player

After 3 years of use, I have totally adopted Tiny Player as a simple player. I see in my former comments that I marked as fixed the fact that Tiny Player always plays a song back from its start when you paused it and relaunch the app later (as VLC and most of the other players do), but whether I was wrong or it has lost that feature again, currently it keeps playing it back from the start...

Great and simple App. Not so bloated like other Minimal-Players. I only miss Last.fm support.

The app has been rewritten in Swift — which presently doesn't change much for the user. After correcting a few bugs, version 1.5.7 works perfectly here under MacOS 10.11.

I forgot to mention that I wanted to listen to Gary Moore – Best of: mp3 files and of the kind MPEG Audio Layer 3, according to the Finder information. Tiny Player was unable to play those files, the sound was all terribly garbled. VLC media player played those files correctly, no distortion at all. So did also other players I have. – Consider this a reply to Annie-Walker from Nov 28 2020.

Tiny Player for Mac is a minimalistic application that allows you to create a playlist from .mp3 files and a few other formats (FLAC, AAC, AIFF and WAV) and then play the files. Before you quit the application you can save the playlist for later use. Popular formats like .mp4 and .flv files are not supported, which means, music videos (mp4) and many YouTube music downloads (flv) cannot be played. People who "highly recommend" this software here or say it's "Exceptionally useful"(Fariborz Dec 18 2018) must be people who just want to listen to music and are happy with being unable to do anything else: no sorting, no tagging, no commenting, happy not being able to create smart lists, happy not being able to search for tracks in the list, and not having any place for lyrics. The less the software can do, the happier that seems to make those people. As an alternative free player for more ambitious music lovers I recommend VLC Media Player. It can play .flv, mp4 and most other music and video formats you throw at it. <https://www.videolan.org>

Drag and drop a file on the dock's icon doesn't work on v1.3 and eventually crashes!

Excellent, simple, no unwanted clutter. And... Always works!

Very nice little player. Highly recommended.

Packed in 2MB what its name says. Just perfect for music listening.

I was still using old Cog 0.08 from 2013 for some tasks, looks like Tiny Player is a fine replacement. :-) Thanks!

Exceptionally useful, blindingly fast. A good example of a useful utility with a clean interface. Thanks.
