  • BrendonMarsh reviewed HiFidelity  

    It has an equalizer and a beautiful design, similar to AIMP. It's probably the most beautiful audio player for Mac OS right now. It automatically scans specified music folders and adds tracks to the library. It would be nice if it supported a few more languages ​​and could play a single downloaded .mp3 or .flac file directly from the download folder. The app is completely free and open source.
