Hey @overcyn this is pretty cool, seems like you are the new Justin Frankel for MacOSX and Enqueue is the Winamp-Pre-AOL :)

I would suggest you these: 1. Equalizer (16 bands min would be awesome). 2. Make it hackable as soon as possible, Audio Plugins is a good start. (please not ruby, Objective-C is fine).

Nice work!

>No way to turn off Growl messages? Oops. You should be able to turn them off from the Growl preference pane. I was always under the impression that this was the recommended way to do things, the idea being to have a central place to control them. Now that full Growl costs money and people start using Mist (which as far as I know has no central pref pane to turn off notifications) I guess devs will have to start addi…

Can you provide a link to Mist? I can't seem to find it.

Without AirPlay support, this is pretty much a non-starter for me. But I rarely play music from my computer, so I'm probably not your target audience. Also, I think this is really missing from your FAQ: Q: Why should I use Enqueue instead of iTunes?

Just seconding support for AirPlay! It's super handy, and a whole range of AirPlay-enabled speakers are coming out this month...

I really like this. As a primary user of Linux, however, mpd has been my default audio player of choice for some time now. Ario has been my client, and could stand to be improved. Any chance you might open-source this in the future so that the GUI might be shanghaied into an mpd client?

Do you have any plans for better iTunes library 'sync' support (i.e. delta updates from a changed iTunes library after initial import, and maybe even writing your changes back to iTunes)? I understand the long-term technical challenges involved, especially since Apple can (and will) change the file format just to mess with you. But for me, at least (although I suspect this would be true for many), this would be a critical feature to really switch. Mostly because iTunes is always going to be the bottleneck for syncing to my iPhone, which I use extensively for music.

That said, I think this is a really awesome effort. iTunes has definitely become way too bloated, so it's great to see a serious alternative being attempted.
