Q: alternatives to iTunes on Mac?

So now when Apple totally downgraded iTunes 11 to become cumbersome and pointless as a music listening application and even for shopping at iTMS (they seel too many tracks or what?) by removing fully working very usable features like:

  • proper search
  • proper cover handling with multiple images (that you also typically get with Digital purchases)
  • Lack of duplicate listing feature
  • removal of next/previous buttons when in album mode info window

 

just to name a few* dumb moves, what usable alternatives are there out there that are:

 

  1. compatible with the iTunes library format**
  2. have the obvious features missing in iTunes present and implemented well
  3. are sane in an Apple-like way and user-friendly, now when Apple isn't, before having "features" that are really not that important

?

 

What suggestions for an improved user music experience do you have to share with us all?

 

For me Mavericks 10.9.x is the environment.

 

 

 

 

*I've been a user since it was called "Soundjam" so have seen them come since 15 years

** I still want to use iTunes for Wifi syncing and iTunes match
