| Matthew Yanagisawa 29.11.2011 | another vote for VLC here. |
| Dorie Scelzo 28.11.2011 | Cog. And there's supposedly a way to get iTunes to play flac files, but I just never cared enough to bother. Recently, I've been trying Enqueue, but if you don't like iTunes, you probably won't like it. |
| Tesha Freudenstein 28.11.2011 | vlc is the way to go. itunes pretty much sucks for anything else than mp3, m4a or wav. |
| Brain Ferrito 28.11.2011 | that's exactly what i do, i use VLC just for my recordings and stuff i'm not going to import to my library.. it would be so nice to have a proper audio player like itunes that would play flac files aswell and that's what i'm looking for. |
| Joselyn Supina 28.11.2011 | Aww man, you shouldn't hate on FLAC, it's a quality lossless codec that does a great job at what it does. It's been around for years. I do get your point though, having another program on your computer just to play a file is a pain. VLC is nice though because it plays video files too. It's probably the best video player out there in my opinion. I have it on every computer I own. It doesn't make a bad audio player either - I use it mostly to listen to my recordings, where I don't want to import them into iTunes, nor open them in my music editor - just give them a quick once off and then be done with them. |
| Brain Ferrito 28.11.2011 | winamp for mac - total crap... |
| Audrey Pinda 27.11.2011 | That's the one big reason I stay away from FLAC, and other non-supported in itunes kinds of files. Not that I don't know their worth... but I moved from WinAmp on a PC over integrating everything over to iTunes. I just can't be bothered to have ANOTHER program in which to deal with stuff in. Serato and iTunes is enough for me. |
