Two reasons I use this app instead of VLC as my music player when I'm on Mac: 1) Gapless playback is a requirement for me, because, you know, Pink Floyd.

The app directory, it seems to me, primarily exists to signal the accessibility of apps, particularly if they're paid and no free demo is available.

I certainly am not interested in trying to tell you you need an app when you're happy with VLC. I'm willing to give this other app a chance, but I need some convincing first, as 9 bucks is a lot to spend for something I can get totally legitimately for free. I'm not saying this wouldn't be a good app, please don't get me wrong here! I just don't understand why I'd want to pay for this, when VLC easily by far could meet most people's needs with identically the same feature set, and probably even more, and by the way is also totally 100 percent accessible. And what's best is, all of this is opensource, and totally 100 percent free, as apose to the 10 bucks you'd pay for this thing. It's got repeat mode, shuffle, it'll even play CDA audio CD files like an old Fashion CD player. And yes, you absolutely can set a separate audio device for playback than your system audio. And yes, vlc plays midi files, wave, WMA, wave, flack, ogg vorbis, AAC, AAC Plus, mp3, mp4, M4A, mpeg, avi, mov, all your normal playlists like pls, m3u, it'll play audio online streams from shoutcast, icecast, etc. I mean literally, it's just open the preferences like normal with command comma, then hitting a browse button, browsing to the plugin file, hitting open, and bam, there you go! OK, I get that the biggest difference probably is that VLC has a library function where this app doesn't, but you don't by any means have to use the library function of VLC. What exactly makes this app any better than the free opensource VLC player? I mean, VLC can open files or a folder, and because of it being opensource, API's are made freely and readily available for developers to make any audio enhancement plugins they want, and as a user, it's a sinch to import those plugins into the app. I'm not by any means meaning this rudely, as much as I truly don't get it.
