Clementine and Cog are a couple of others. I haven't found one I totally like. There is a foobar2000 port, using X11 though.
Thanks for the list! I'll have to give these players a try. Right now, I have music stored on an external HD and some still on my macbook's HD. Will these players be able to automatically integrate the music from different locations? I haven't had time to try to figure it out on iTunes.
The price of what JIGF? But yeh some of the prices are ridiculous.
I'll add them shortly. I've put in a request for info with the makers for Fidelia on pricing.
So how do these players claim improving the sound over Itunes? In OS X sound options you can specify system sounds to be routed to the internal speakers so they don't go to your headphone and even set their volume low or disabled. Don't need hog mode for that. The other 'features' in the article are intended to change the sound of the source, quite useless as most audiophiles are looking for the best possible reproduction.
Bit perfect playback would be useful, but this OS X shortcoming as far as I understood it is not addressed by any of these players.
