Great Flac Player
Gordyb4
Easy user interface and track management. The only con is the "select" isn't always available and have to go through song by song but, it is available in other locations in the app. Not a big deal and with the paid version you can link up all your icloud accounts. This application is far superior to VOX. This is a great substitue for Apple Music if you want to listen to lossless playback.
Useless if you use an external drive

TLDR; You can’t browse folders and sub folders from external drives in the app to play music without it being in one BIG playlist.Currently you have to drag and drop or go to “Open Folders” and either open the specifc folder (album for example) you want to play or select the folder that it exists in (artist folder or all of your music library for example). From there it opens up everything inside that folder and puts it in one BIG playlist, regardless if any of the songs came from subfolders.Thats not the worst if its just one album but for people that keep their music library on an external drive its a total deal breaker.Not to mention music often has unfilled/mixed meta data like multiple artists being apart of 1 song on an album which makes sorting innefective.There NEEDS to be a way to browse folders the same way you would in Mac finder/Windows explorer. Because of this I always have to drag and drop individual folders (albums) into the player and go from there. Its super frustrating.And a related issue when opening files from the "Files on this MAC" tab or from an external drive, you can’t automatically sort/rearrange songs by title/file name/artist/etc etc. You’re stuck with the order that FLAC Box throws at you unless you want to individually rearrange each song. Again.. not THAT big of a deal when it’s one album but when its hundreds or thousands of songs it means this app isn’t an option.
Flacbox is a game-changer for audiophiles!

As someone who takes audio quality seriously, Flacbox is hands-down the best app I’ve found for playing my lossless music files. I’ve been using it on my Mac, and it has been a fantastic experience so far.Key features that stand out to me:- Supports all my audio formats: I primarily use FLAC, but it handles a ton of formats, including ALAC, MP3, and even DSD. No more worrying about converting files!- Built-in equalizer and preamp: The customizable equalizer really lets me tweak the sound to exactly how I want it. I love that it also has a preamp to boost sound without distortion.- Cloud support: I can connect my Google Drive, Dropbox, and even OneDrive accounts to stream my music directly, which is a lifesaver since I keep a large collection in the cloud.- Bookmarking and playlist management: I can easily bookmark specific tracks and organize everything into playlists. It makes managing a large library so much easier.Honestly, the app is smooth, responsive, and looks great on macOS. I’ve seen regular updates too, so it’s clear the developers are listening to feedback and improving the app. Highly recommended for anyone who loves high-quality audio!

This has turned into a complete disappointment and is now a mess. I am taking down my social media video where I praised it as the best music app.Initially, I considered this app one of the best and even created a social media video to recommend it. However, it seems they've ruined it now, and I've decided to remove my video.It used to be an excellent app, but now it's not worth using. Instead of asking for $14, the developers should consider giving refunds. The user interface is confusing, copied files don't display properly, and it's all quite chaotic. In my opinion, they should either improve it, return to its previous state, or consider other options altogether. I apologize for my strong language, but this app is incredibly disappointing.Moreover, it's puzzling that the app is available for both Mac and iOS, yet it can't sync files on the same network. They seem unable to fix these simple issues. The sound quality has deteriorated significantly, and no matter how I adjust the EQ settings, it doesn't sound as it used to. The sound now has too much bass and is distorted, and the beats that I once enjoyed are no longer clear. Instead, I hear noise rather than music.In summary, even if it's now available for free, it's not worth it. I recommend considering alternatives like Foobar or VLC, which, despite their less-than-perfect user interfaces, are not as bad as this app has become.
Hi everyone!
This is our biggest update yet, built around a brand-new BASS audio engine for lossless and high-resolution listening.
NEW BASS AUDIO ENGINE
A professional playback core you can select as an alternative to the existing engine. It unlocks a full chain of real-time audio effects, DSP processing, and live visualization, and it adds playback of classic tracker and MOD music (MOD, XM, IT, S3M, MTM, UMX, MO3). It plays your existing library with high-quality resampling and precise pitch and tempo control.
AUTOMATIC VOLUME LEVELING
Loudness-based normalization keeps tracks from different albums at a consistent volume. Local files are pre-scanned so playback opens already leveled.
NEW AUDIO EFFECTS SUITE
Stack and tune studio-style processors in real time: reverb, delay, multi-tap echo, chorus, flanger, phaser, auto-wah, distortion, compressor, stereo rotation and crossfeed for a more natural headphone soundstage. Each effect has its own screen, presets and an instant on/off toggle.
NEW DSP PROCESSOR
Build your own signal chain from 14 real-time filters: gain, low-pass, high-pass, band-pass and notch filters, peaking, low-shelf and high-shelf EQ, soft-clip saturation, bit crusher, tremolo, delay, ring modulator and stereo width. Each has presets and an instant on/off toggle.
REAL-TIME MUSIC VISUALIZER
Full-screen animated visuals that react live to your music, with a large library of presets to choose from or let cycle. Available across the playback engines on all your devices, with a screen-sleep preventer so the show keeps going uninterrupted.
REFRESHED DESIGN
Redesigned audio effects and equalizer screens with modern sliders, glass-style visuals and a simplified presets mode, plus clearer organization of engines, effects and DSP.
Plus a more reliable streaming foundation, better file-type handling, broader localization, and many stability and performance fixes.
Thank you for using Flacbox. Your music now sounds great and looks great, with a professional-grade engine, a full suite of effects and DSP filters, and a live visualizer to match. We can't wait for you to hear and see it.
