Even if it did, the lyrics window is way too small and can't be resized. And while Swinsian did import all my playlists, album art and star ratings, it didn't import my lyrics. I get the Column Browser back which the Music App took away, I no longer have to convert FLAC files to an iTunes readable format (a big time saver for me), and it's much zippier.iTunes (and the Music App) always had a 2 or 3 second lag when switching songs which never bothered me, but I think after using Swinsian that lag would bug me if I had to switch back to the Music App. And you literally copy it and rename it (say, add a number 2 at the end), then when you open swinsian it will create a new database file. Essentially you find the library database file (it’s hidden in library/app support or something like that). Right now Im using VLC player, which is great for playing all sorts of files. Audirvana, which is my favourite app so far, is a little too expensive for me at the moment. My MacBook Pro, although somewhat new, started to heat up tremendously when I ran Roon, so I wont be using Roon. I purchased Swinsian a week ago and I'm really liking it. You can actually do this, but it’s a big workaround. Ive tried Roon and Audirvana for 30 days.

I paid full price for this software and am disappointed that such a simple yet important feature is still nowhere to be seen.

Among the many different applications I have running on a regular basis, this has been only one that has yet to give my eyes a rest even among a bunch of other third-party developers. More importantly, if the developers are reading this, please PLEASE implement a dark mode soon. A simple 'lock' button next to the size slider would completely fix the issue.

Aside from a couple issues I've had, Swinsian makes other Mac OS music players look like a joke.Ĭhanging the grid's icon size is an exception to the lag-free experience and is especially frustrating because it's extremely easy to mess everything up with an accidental zoom gesture and go through the laggy, frustrating process of getting it to the right size again and again. The overall lack of fluff while still having a fantastic interface is a godsend. The customizability has allowed me to arrange the interface exactly to my liking. I'm at over 250gb of lossy audio (about 30k files) myself and experience little to no lag when navigating the browsers and art grid. Definitely the best music player around for big libraries.
