I'm new to these forums and wanted to share my pleasant experience with the Swinsian audio player and organizer. I have a 2.5 TB audio library and have had problems with iTunes lag and crashing. Furthermore, The fact that iTunes tends to color the sound and will not change the sample rate.
I have a new (late 2012) 2.3ghz Mac Mini with a 1tb fusion drive and a Buffalo 3tb external drive the contains my music library. I am using a Fiio X3 as a DAC.
I tried Pure Music and Bitperfect, but they work with iTunes and cause the system to lag or crash. I then tried and purchased Decibel. Decibel worked very good and sounded great, but it takes forever to load a large playlist from iTunes.
Then I discovered Swinsian. I downloaded the demo and have been using it for a while. Not only does it only take a few minutes to load my entire library, Swinsian will play mile audio files at their proper sample rate. Furthermore, I can use Swinsian to manage my iPod Classics and iPod Touch. The sound quality is on par with Decible. Swinsian works great with Airfoil for streming to my Airport Expresses. I can only say good things about Swinsian, because I have not found any flaws.
Please share you experiences with Swinsian. It seems to be the only played and media database that can really handle massive libraries.
