User Reviews

  • A very nice music player, but it still can't play multi track ALAC, FLAC and WAVPACK files correctly, the are detected as single files. Please remake to, this one has so much potential
  • A new star among audio players on macOS?
  • It is the best minimal music player and I love it. But i would like to have a darkmode for windows version. And my songs album arts isnt being displayed only few of them are.
  • I really enjoy using this streamlined, restrained and minimalist player. Thanks to the developers for their great work.
  • I like how this player is rather small and supports basic mod formats. I just found it to play XM tracker file. UI dialog is small and nice. It supports 3 needed formats for me - XM IT S3M. Small unhandy behaviour (it can be fixed later?) - a) when I open XM file from Double Commander by association, player opens its dialog but DON'T start playing. b) I must copy binary to some folder, no DEB installer fo Ubuntu. OK thing is that it plays XM files good - I tested on "Emelie by Radix" and sound is good, while some other Linux player made bad-false sound in the middle. App is made by some Russians. They are good in software.
