"Would be nice if it didn't regularly freeze"
Version: Vox 0.2.8 beta 2
Pros
Nice equalizer, and very decent control of sound.
Cons
App constantly freezes.
Summary
It is a nice idea, but I have PLENTY of computer to support this app...I7 Quad, with 8 gigs of ram....the app is just not solid.

"The best player for Mac"
Version: Vox 0.2.8 beta 2
Pros
Native Mac interface, plays a great variety of files, simple and lightweight.
Cons
None really.
Summary
It's a great alternative to the bloated iTunes (which won't even play files like FLAC).

"Good sound, no good playlist"
Version: Vox 0.2.7
Pros
1. Godd sound quality
2. Quite few sound controls, even some effects (have no use for them though)
3. bpm counter,Cons
1. Layout of the windows (would prefere all tools in one window rather than clicking between them)
2. can't work with playlist (that is something almost anoying)Summary
I was looking for some music player which could replace iTunes as the sound quality of the original Apple music software is VERY... poor. But I like the way iTunes orginise music library (arrange by genre, album, composer, artist etc.), so I would prefere something which could use or even better continue with Music Library as it is now. Unfortunately the only alternative which could do that was so expensive (i mean EXPENSIVE), so I've instaled Vox and am pretty satisfied with it. I'm still using the iTunes for organising my tunes though. Yes, it's pain in the bum, but what can I do?

"Very cool yet underrated audio player."
Version: Vox 0.2.7
Pros
Versatile audio player and converter. Hand for musicians, in that you can easily change pitch of a song and keep the same tempo, or slow a song down without affecting the pitch. You can export the changes in various formats.
Cons
So far, no complaints. It does have some features that are cool but I'll rarely use, like adding reverb, distortion, phaser, or flanger.
Summary
To repeat: cool and versatile audio player that can make various changes to files (even youtube downloads) which can then be exported in many popular formats. It has a very intuitive, easy to use interface. It does a lot of things for free that other products may charge for.

This app is so outta the ball park, homerun its sick! Best I've used in forever! -
"Unquestionably the BEST audio player/converter/etc..."
Version: Vox 0.2.7
Summary
...
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
It does everything! It has a million features that surprisingly do not get in each others' way, but they all work great. And scrobbling to boot! Really, nothing can touch Vox. It even outperforms XLD in converting files from say .flac to AAC (or whatever), and that's no small feat.
And it's FREEEEEE ! -
"Freedom from iTunes Library"
Version: Vox 0.2.7 RC3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Vox gives the freedom to review your audio without each play adding to a music library. I've been using Vox since 0.25 and it's well worth my donation. -
"Great music player; shame there is no playlist function"
Version: Vox 0.2.6
Pros
I love the ease of use - simply open the files you want to play. Opens .flac files, .mp3 etc. Simple interface that has many in-depth functions to adapt your music files while playing e.g. equaliser etc. Displays album artwork in a very pleasing way.
Cons
I don't like not being able to save all your favourite music files in a playlist, so you have to open each individual file each time you want to play it. Fine when you only want to play a certain few songs, but a bit tedious otherwise.

"Works great for .flac files"
Version: Vox 0.2.6
Pros
There is no need to drag all your .flac files in to a playlist (from the same cd), it automatically plays the next track. It plays .flac files better than vlc!
Cons
It was a bit skippy when I had several apps open.
Summary
Download this program. It is better than vlc.

"A light, extremely efficient player for Mac."
Version: Vox 0.2.6
Pros
It just plays music, pure and simple, and doesn't intrude like iTunes does. Good design and solid software. No bugs at all.
Cons
I loved it, no problems, serious or small
Summary
This is a very small and elegant player, underestimated by every account. Try it and you will keep, specially if you use iTunes just when you have to (for iPod's sake).
