		TarpitCarnivore on April 22, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: My Quest to Build the Ultimate Music Player iTunes is still a serviceable player and works well for standard formats. Vox is lightweight and can read a ton of file formats, as well as load up your iTunes library. I think you can set it to auto-load a directory at launch as well. Audivarna is also supposed to be pretty good.

Vox is probably the best alternative I've found, particularly with its support for FLAC (I know I can transcode to ALAC).
