FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec and is considered to be one of the most popular compression formats when it comes to lossless audio. It is similar to popular compression formats like ZIP, RAR and 7z in a way that it does not alter the original content, just stores it at a smaller file size.

What’s so good about FLAC?

If you collect lossless audio in digital format, many consider FLAC the way to go in terms of storage. One of the big pros is the fact that its’ design principle involves really effective optimization routines for compressing audio. By using a Cue Sheet, one can make an exact copy of an audio disc with every little detail captured perfectly – making it the ideal choice for archival purposes! Excellent compression rate with CPU-friendly playback to store your high definition audio in. Check out XLD, the de facto Mac FLAC converter application for more.

Why is it so popular?

Simply because it is open, and generally well supported. Accessibility and good documentation was key in it becoming so widespread throughout the years.

How to play FLAC on Mac?

For quite some time now, macOS did not offer such a vast array of options regarding FLAC audio players as other operating systems did. A fresh install of macOS (formerly Mac OS X or OSX) does not have a convenient way of playing your FLAC files (although since High Sierra pressing the Spacebar in Finder does play FLAC files) as iTunes would.

Which is the Best FLAC player for Mac?

Strictly objective speak would define the best FLAC player on Mac as the one that works for you! There simply isn’t a solution that fits every single criteria a user would need or want. However, there are a few players with support for FLAC on Mac that try to shoot for such highly-regarded recognition, which brings us to…

• Saves your battery

  Uses a barely noticable amount of computing power, Colibri is built using state-of-the-art Swift programming language while the BASS audio engine is bundled as machine code and the interface uses built-in components by Apple. This was done in order to achieve a tiny footprint and to be as native to macOS as humanly possible.

• Plays your audio

  Colibri supports the most widely used range of file formats in terms of lossless audio: FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, APE, TTA, DSD, WavPack, popular lossy formats: Ogg Vorbis, MP1/MP2/MP3 and AAC/M4A, network streams/online radio, MOD and MIDI files (with per song SoundFont support)! For your undisturbed listening pleasure, Colibri supports Exclusive/Hog mode as well. A lossless audio player at heart with love to other popular formats as well0010.

• Handles CUE Sheets

  Complete Cue sheet support: malformed and disordered content is reprocessed during loading along with a painless and quick way to add your whole collection – Colibri will analyze and decide whether to load the Cue sheet in the folder or queue every song one by one for every added/dragged folder recursively.

• Supports gapless playback

  Extensively designed from the ground-up to provide a true gapless listening experience. Colibri prepares the upcoming song for playback in the background to further eliminate gaps for (slower) external drives or network shares without pushing the entire song into memory, meaning that no extra CPU or RAM usage is needed!

• Picks up where you left off

  Saves or empties your current playlist upon quitting and re-opens your songs when you start it up again. Furthermore, Colibri can also save and load its’ current playlist to a custom format that can even be appended to an already existing playlist. Loading and appending is also available for M3U and M3u8 playlist files.

• Avoids most problems

  Colibri does its’ best to avoid most problems before, during and even after playback. Loading unsupported files show up as an error message and files that have disappeared since loading are automatically removed and skipped upon being reached in the playlist. Paragon for mac 10. A Mac lossless player developed with flexibility and error correction in mind.

• Understands your language

  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. All known metadata types readable by the BASS engine and macOS are supported by Colibri.

• Respects your privacy

  Colibri does not phone home, collect usage data, spy on you or modify files in any way.

• Displays album art

  Displays embedded cover art for FLAC files and ID3 / iTunes artwork metadata (mainly for ALAC / M4A and MP3 files). When that yields no visible results then Colibri looks around the folder where the current song resides for a cover art image and shows that. See the FAQ for details on the exact files Colibri looks for. FLAC files with embedded picture data or supplied album art images are displayed automatically.

• Resides in your Menu Bar

  Colibri can place an unobtrusively small icon in the Menu Bar for easy access and playlist control: you can either start/pause the playback, skip to the next track or go back to the previous one. It also displays the info and cover art image of the current song. Control Colibri from even multiple Spaces desktops away with the MenuBar Controller!

• Integrates with Finder and your Keyboard

  Colibri conforms all of Apple’s strict requirements – which means that it shows up in Finder as an option in “Open With” when a supported file is selected. Colibri can also open all files of a folder by opening just one of them from Finder – see the Settings – Behavior screenshots in the Gallery.

• Adjusts to your Display

  Colibri’s interface elements scale themselves nicely on every screen resolution and pixel density, while Colibri also offers a wide range of usage modes from small condensed to fullscreen complete with multiple types of column layouts and a resizable player window.

  • a color picker has been added to Settings -> Themes for the Grid
• new Loop option ‘Random Round Robin’ in Settings -> Playlist:
  • each song in the Playlist will be played once per “round”
  • when all songs were played once, a new “round” begins
  • removing a song causes the “round”
