Ask HN: Favorite music player for OSX?

7 points by thronemonkey ↗ HN
I have been dissatisfied with iTunes of late and am seeking a new music player. I've tried a number of them, clementine (http://code.google.com/p/clementine-player/) is my favorite so far. What are Mac users on HN using to listen to music?

when it comes to unix, I use ncmpcpp + mpd :D

looks interesting, a command line player might be just what the doctor ordered.

If you're in this kind of thing you might have a look at Vitunes http://vitunes.org/. Basically it's vi for music.

Personally most of the times I just dump a file in terminal using afplay. It only uses a ridiculously small amount of ressources and that's what I'm after.

Tomahawk from http://toma.hk , simply awesome. Edit: It can get songs from a lot of sources and the interface is smooth too.

It looks pretty slick, but really what I'm looking for is something to manage the huge library of music files I've managed to accumulate :/ Streaming music is exciting, but not the focus I'm looking for. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Have you already got a music collection? If not, Spotify is awesome.

Still using this on OSX ML, works great if you just want a very simple, easy-to-use music player.

BTW, I personally hate iTunes. :-P

ncmpcpp for the mpd-server in my local network.
