Cog: Lightweight Audio Player for Mac
Cog is a lightweight audio player for Mac that supports a wide range of audio formats. With the constant increase in new audio formats, Cog ensures that you can play all of them without any compatibility issues. Whether it's Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, Musepack, Monkeys Audio, AAC, skip, or Wavpack, Cog has got you covered.
One of the great features of Cog is its simplicity and ease of use. You can simply drag and drop files into the player, and it will read unicode tags and create playlists for you. Additionally, Cog supports Growl alerts, allowing you to see what's playing without even looking at the player. It also has the ability to scrobble your listening activity to Last.fm.
Cog is completely free to use and open source, giving you the freedom to modify it as you like. However, it does have some limitations in terms of preferences. There is no album info, cover art, or artist info included in the player. Furthermore, there have been reported playlist corruption problems in Snow Leopard, although these are expected to be fixed in the next release.
Overall, Cog is a powerful audio player for Mac that supports a wide range of formats. It is a great solution for anyone in need of a lightweight and free audio player, except for those using the most obscure formats.
