OS X alternatives to iTunes for playing FLAC

Question

Hello everyone i am working one of the push notification enabled application for both tech iOS & android. We are completely stuck now we need to use one server api key for both. Any useful suggestion will be appreciated thanks in advance.

Already done: we have already created the configuration file with the same package name and my android developer is using eclipse for.

in iOS we are getting push notifications accordingly but not in android kindly help to figured out thanks.

Solution 1

There's Clementine, a cross-platform fork of Amarok 1.4. I'm not sure how well (if at all) it works with iTunes playlists, etc. but it does support FLAC and has (in my opinion) a great library management feature set.

Solution 2

Enqueue does everything you want and the nice thing is that you can assign any folder or folders to it and it will watch them.

Extensive File Format Support
Enqueue supports tagging and playback for many formats including mp3, mp4, aac, ogg, flac, wav, aiff, musepack and more.

I've only used the beta which wasn't completely stable, but it is out of beta now.

Solution 3

VLC media player is pretty good for flac; and also i think double-twist has flac support, but im not shure (personally, i prefer studio quality AAC). with VLC you cannot sync any devices (as far as i know), but the good thing about double-twist is... well, it has syncing support for both android devices and iPods (excluding iPod touch 3). also, double-twist has playlist and smart-playlist support, as well as favorites, a rating system, a music store, a genius-like feature, and so many other features that expand on the ones iTunes has.

wow clementine looks nice. and it's free, whereas enqueue is a paid app now that it's out of beta.

will FLAC 24bits be downsampled?

God, those scroll bars are hideous.

@Syzygy Those are Mac OS X scrollbars. Clementine uses the widgets of the platform it's running on.

Just a note, i bought (It's not free!) it believing it was under active development - that is not the case, it's been unchanged since january 2012. Reference: enqueueapp.com/changelog.html
