 So, here's my question, what do you all use to play mp3's and ogg files?
 do you just stick with iTunes, which admitedly, is much better, and nicer

 your music?
 Thanks in advance for any and all feedback!

Hi Angie,

ITunes is marginally better on mac than on windows.  IMHO though, the whole 
idea of ITunes is ridiculous.  It's a benighted, proprietary piece of 
bloatware.  Personaly I use VLC for my stuff.  It's playlist based and non 
proprietay.  

You can get vlc from www.videolan.org.  You'll be happy you did.  ITunes balks 
me at every turn, but really and truely, I can't think of a single task that 
ITunes dows that a third party program doesn't do much better.

vlc player, which you can get from videolan.org. It plays just about

Re: Music player

2011-07-30 Thread ShamelessFanGirl
I recently upgraded to Lion, so currently use VLC more than Cog. With each, you 
open the app, press cmd O, browse to your desired music location, open it, and 
you're off and running. VLC has some unlabeled buttons, but you can take care 
of that via voiceover's labeling method. Both apps have keyboard shortcuts 
available for nearly every function of the respective player, and both are very 
accessible IMO. Also, and this is simply me being me, but I love the 
customizable EQ in VLC. Made me run out and buy amazing speakers for my Mac. :D

Again, I hope that helps.

Re: Music player

2011-07-30 Thread Angie Giltinan
Thanks for your suggestions, a few questions, if you don't mind?
are vlc and cog accessible, and when do you use which 
as for the switch from windows to mac, I'm really loving it! Alex as a voice is 
wonderful, and the fact that Vo comes preloaded on every mac is incredible!

Re: Music player

2011-07-30 Thread ShamelessFanGirl
Hello Angie,

I personally use VLC and Cog for music playing. iTunes is fantastic, but there 
are times I just want to cue up a folder/playlist without first having to add 
it to my library. I use iTunes more as a means of organizing my iDevices than 
as an actual player of media.

Just a few thoughts to get you started, and congratulations on making the 
switch.
