Hi fellow Mac peeps,
(I haven't introduced myself but let's skip that).
I gave up my search for a Foobar 2000 like music player for OS X.....until I found the source of Cog on Bitbucket.
I have a Synology NAS with 1 shared music folder where all my music resides.
So for OS X you have all these iTunes library importers in all those nifty (money costing) music players. That is not what I want. Neither do I want/need iTunes for playing my music. Also it does not play .FLAC.
So strangely enough no one wants a panel with a music library that can be sorted/ordered by FOLDER ????
Well I do and found Cog for this purpose. Now what I did was enhance it.
Cog play a lot of different audio format and even internet radio streams. So bullseye.
Here are the features I added to my Cog 2015 version.
- I build in a 10 Band Equalizer, with VUMeter and Clipping indicator.
- Yosemite/El Capitan Dark theme/colors.
- Volume slider reduced to 100% instead of 400% ( why was that 400%? I don't want to overload my Audio signal...).
- Volume indication is now in dB (decibels) instead of percentage (%).
- Meta info in tagged .WAV files is now displayed. This was not working before.
- a MONO switch for those who need it.
- Time remaining is now also displayed instead of only elapsed.
- Some cosmetic changes in the toolbar buttons.
I compiled it under 10.11 El Capitan DP1 with 10.6 SDK so it should run on 10.6 up till 10.11.
For the Equalizer I used routines from this: https://github.com/bartolsthoorn/NVDSP

Have fun with it, I do.
