Pretty self-explanatory...
I also use sox's play, along with the mpc client for mpd.

I preferred it when it was open-source, and supported it then. I also make heavy use of Linux, so I'll let your OS troll comment slide (but is OS X the real problem?). However...
(1) Why is this inherently different from paying for Bit Perfect (except that it costs more)? (2) Why is it voodoo-ware, any more than other share-ware options? It does some stuff that iTunes does not do, or does poorly, i.e., (a) automatic sample-rate matching. (iTunes will use whatever is set in Audio MIDI, and if that does not match the sampling frequency of your track, then it is forced to resample. This, and bit perfect and Decibel and the expensive options do this. (I think vox does it too, for free.)) (b) Uses a good up-sampling algorithm (optionally). © Optionally uses iTunes as a music file browser/tagger/etc. (d) Plays flac (e) Uncompresses and loads the current and N+1 track into memory prior to playback. (f) on OS X 10.7 and 10.8, recovers the ability to use integer mode playback, and allows the output device to operate in exclusive ("hog") mode. (g) I got it free for helping with the open-source version. |
