  Huh? Vox lags? Even a 2011 Mac air didn't lag with Vox. Oh though Vox does uses more memory that most other music apps. See if "load music files fully into memory" is selected.

It is selected. I have 16GB of RAM. It used to work fine but one of the more recent updates seems to have broken something. It's no biggie as JRiver does things Vox can't so I'm happy. Its just a shame because Vox is what I've always recommended to anyone not wanting to spend money.

Where is the "load music files fully into memory" selection? I've just looked in the preferences and can't see it. I remember a few days ago being able to move a slider to select how much buffers but I can't find that now. Weird.

Go to "Preferences / Audio / Advanced" and it's there at the bottom of the pane.

sorry another thing- somewhere above someone said VOX emptied their iTunes library-is that true? jRiver does that but by transferring my library but my iTunes library is still full-I would like to free up the 1TB of music on iTunes library-VOX does that? what happens if VOX loses it or crashes? I would have to rerip 800+ cd's??

I used to be an avid VOX user, but the latest updates have turned me off. It used to be perfect. I have my entire collection sorted into folders, and I used to be able to drag-drop the folder into the VOX application in various locations to either clear out my playlist and play the folder, or to append the current playlist. It seems that simple action has been complicated for no apparent reason.

I don't know what version of Vox you tried but the latest release does exactly what you require. Dragging a folder to either the top-left or top-right panel will either add the folder to the existing playlist or clear the existing playlist. I hope that helps you.

I'm currently trialling a Project Ember anither and not using plug-ins. Vox performs well and the occasional skips & drop-outs I complained of earlier have disappeared.

I'm also a fan of Vox. Intuitive, lightweight software. I don't think I could give up other programs and rely solely on it but I like having it as an option.

I'd like to know why Vox sounds different to JRiver. Surely with EQ off and bit-perfect all players should sound the same?

VOX have lots of internal sound enhancers: EQ, binaural converter, etc. So I think there are some internal sound manipulations that can't be turned off. I'm asking VOX developers to make "direct output mode" for year :)

Well I have everything turned off and it's running in 'hog-mode' but the sound is noticeably darker and less airy than JRiver in hog-mode.
