Except that it doesn't run on 10.5.

It works on 10.5 for me.
Anyway, special Leopard version can be found here.

By the way, ToolPlayer supports Apple AudioUnit plugins: reverb, compressor, etc.

Cool !
It loads fast and has that winamp behaviour I was missing on OSX.
Thanks Manwe =)

Also check out Cog if you're looking for a minimalistic music player for OS X. I almost started coding my own out of frustration for iTunes but then I found Cog... :) It scrobbles too.

thats what i been using for quite nearly a year now, cog. but it doesnt load ogg and module or let you edit mp3 infofile, and that gets annoying.

not infofile.. id3 tags or whatever the fuck they're called.

actually, looking at the webpage it seems the new version of cog does load ogg and tracker format, got to upgrade i guess.

It does load oggs just fine (I think even the previous version did), though the lack of ID3 tag support is really annoying. I mean, it can read them, why not write? :P

maybe they just dont show on the sidebar library thin then. couz i remember having some empty netlabel folders and turning out they actually had ogg or it files in them and just cog wasnt recognizing them as music files.
anyways, i'll upgrade and see what gives

if Cog will ever supports MO3 format...

Cog rules and it handles a few actual formats like super nintendo and genesis that makes it even more cool. And it's handling IT and XM well. And it's using DUMB for mod playback, not MikMod, so it isn't destroying music.

I don't use MO3, and I don't recall there being an MO3 converter in the osX BASS package, so I see absolutely no reason to bring it up when talking about music players for osX.
MO3 has never been in the BASS package, it's a seperate tool, also available at the un4seen website.
Not bad at all... but a playlist window would be nice. Or am I just too fucking blind to find that option??? :)
