Native Lossless Audio for macOS with BS2B support

Colibri is a native macOS audio player built from scratch on top of the BASS playback technology, supports cristal-clear bit-perfect playback of all popular lossless and lossy audio formats, uses only a tiny amount of computing power and offers a clean and intuitive user experience.

Now with native AirPlay 2 multi-room audio support. Stream your music to your Apple TV, HomePod or AirPlay-capable smart TV and devices.

Saves your battery
Colibri uses a barely noticable amount of computing power during the playback of your music.

- FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, APE, TTA, DSD (DSDIFF and DSF encoding), WavPack
- Ogg Vorbis, MP1/MP2/MP3 and AAC/M4A
- network streams/online radio
- Chiptune and Tracker music
- MOD and MIDI files (with per song SoundFont support)

Feature packed
- 10-band Equalizer

- Multiple loop options
- Per-device configuration with auto-switching
- Forced frequency
- Initial volume setting

- Frequency switching silence generation

Handles CUE Sheets
Reads, processes - and to some extent - sanitizes cue sheets

Supports gapless playback
Colibri is extensively designed from the ground-up to provide a true gapless listening experience - with or without using a Cue Sheet.

Picks up where you left off
Saves your current playlist upon quitting and re-opens your songs when you start it up again.

Avoids most problems
Colibri does its' best to avoid most problems before, during and after playback.

Understands your language
Colibri is capable of rendering the song information as it was intended to be shown: of all the tried metadata it had no problem with displaying cyrillic or kanji/katakana/hiragana characters mixed with ASCII.

Respects your privacy
Colibri does not phone home, collect usage data or modify files in any way.

Displays album art - Colibri displays embedded cover art for FLAC files and ID3/iTunes artwork metadata for other files (mainly M4A / ALAC and MP3). When that yields not results then it looks in the folder where the current song resides for a cover art image.

Resides in your Menu Bar
Colibri can place an unobtrusively small icon in the Menu Bar for easy access and playlist control

Integrates with Finder
Colibri conforms all of Apple's strict requirements

Adjusts to your Display
Colibri's interface elements scale themselves nicely on every screen resolution and pixel density.

What’s New

Version 2.2.0

Thank you for using Colibri! This update fixes many reported issues and thoroughly cleans up the birdcage. Happy listening!

Fixes:
- an audio hiccup that could occur during song transition in CoreAudio mode
- DSD song change in PCM data sending mode doesn't apply EQ settings
- DSD song change in PCM data sending mode lowers the system volume
- playing a DSD song after a non-DSD song in DoP/DoPA data sending modes can cause noise to be played
- seeking using the left/right arrow keys can sometimes fail when a DSD song is played in DoP/DoPA mode
- multiple crashes during song loading while AirPlay mode is active
- multiple crashes when adding many folders at once from different storage media
- folders with multiple nested levels of Cue Sheets don't load recursively
- when Cue sheet reading fails, the fallback folder reading isn't triggered
- files without file extension are loaded when adding a folder
- adding a Cue sheet after restarting Colibri can mess up previously added Cue sheet song processed metadata
- when file metadata reading fails (or if it is empty), the filename is not shown
- multiple Sandbox related issues

Updates:
- FLAC module to 2.4.5.4
- WavPack module to 2.4.7.4
- Cue sheet processing now uses multi-pass file encoding detection
- reduced memory usage during AirPlay loop 'current song' mode
- removed deprecated CoreAudio calls
- Sandbox bookmarks are now refreshed when becoming stale

Simple but Functional (recomend)

I was looking for quite some time for a player supporting external DACs without too much hassle. I tried several options, but this one seems to hit the mark:

It does not load the CPU.
It allows for bit-perfect output.
It supports a wide range of formats (excluding SACD).
It provides customization options.
Overall, I am very satisfied with it and can highly recommend it.

Note for the developer: Thank you so much! I am looking forward to an updated version with even more functionality to enjoy.

Great player

Has all features for high quality playback. Some minor suggestions:
- more customization for themes (fonts, the size of album art, playback buttons)
- metadata info editor

Developer Response ,

Hi mr.duke.ua!

Thanks for the kind words and feedback, I'll try and add better customization in the following updates - will also investigate metadata editing at a later stage :-)

Cheers,
Gabor
