I hate this more than iTunes and that is saying a lot.

Coming from Windows, I was a Winamp user for decades until Foobar, then MusicBee. Moving over to OSX, my options were limited. I hated iTunes and everything about it; from the autosyncing, forced usage for iPhone and iPods, etc… Having heard wonderful things about VOX, I decided to try it out. It’s a good looking app, not as beautiful as my MusicBee setup but it plays FLAC, something Apple/iTunes is notoriously known for hating because FLAC means zero profits for them so they force AAC/ALAC down your throat.
I’ve been using it as a replacement for iTunes, but I decided to trash this app and stick with iTunes.
Pros: Plays FLAC, Good looking app.
Cons: First of all, the basic things were missing. I cannot transfer multiple songs to a new playlist aka “collection” without finding the file from the fileprompt. There is no way to drag and drop multiple songs into a new playlist. The only way is to drag it to the top to “add and show” and organize it like that. A second playlist pane would be so much more convenient. You have to add files individually. THIS IS ABSOULTELY a dealbreaker for me. Every single music player has allowed me to move multiple songs to a new playlist using CMD+CLICK and dragging it.
Secondly, this app forces “loop” down your throat at every chance it gets. It also gives you nagging messages via the growl messages about how I haven’t played any music in a while, how annoying. Overall this app is shiny but has no substance, until then, I will be porting MusicBee with crossover.
