Very nice! I know this is intended to stay small and minimal, but I’d love to see at least some rudimental artwork support.

The amount of steps taken backwards in Apple’s UI / UX is staggering.

Some really nice folks are trying to figure out the whole "not iTunes" issue - it's called hyperamp: https://github.com/hypermodules/hyperamp

You can drag it and move it wherever you want. I usually put mine in the top 2/3rds of my screen as I'm a habitual +space

#94Author here, thanks for all the responses. Gapless playback is high on my personal wishlist as well. Same goes for additional audio formats. I was actually surprised that the latest macOS had built-in support for FLAC but there are a few others I'd like to add. Both of these features will require a more custom audio solution, which may take some time to figure out... but it's on the roadmap!
fwiw, https://github.com/sbooth/SFBAudioEngine is a great library for supporting other formats, helps with gapless, and is reasonably easy to drop in. I've dropped it into an audio player I created with virtually no hassle.

#95I so much need a music player that fits my needs on macOS that I hacked my own on top of FFPlay from FFmpeg. https://www.flickr.com/photos/fraktus/39848081275/ For me, I like to see the spectrum when I listen to music because it gives a good idea of how well the spatialization has been recorded. Also, thanks to FFmpeg I can display all encoding details right away...
FFmpeg is a great project. Interesting how it interprets the embedded artwork as 'mjpeg' in your pic.
