Colibri overview

Colibri is a native macOS audio player built from scratch on BASS technology.

Colibri supports crystal-clear bit-perfect playback of all popular lossless and lossy audio formats, uses only a tiny amount of computing power, and offers a clean and intuitive user experience.

What’s new in version 2.1.7

Updates:
  • Colibri can now properly read iTunes/Music.app exported Playlist files in M3U and M3U8 formats
Fixes:
  • Network streams would fail to load from M3U files
  • Stopping and restarting a song via AirPlay could cause silence to be played
  • AirPlay playback could softlock itself if the upcoming Song was unavailable
  • Adding Songs from Finder would crash Colibri if the 'Clear playlist...' option was enabled
  • Colibri could crash/behave erratically if 'Load all songs from within...' option was enabled
  • When opening files from Finder, Colibri would not start playback at the song that was initially clicked on in Finder
  • When dropping files to the Playlist, Colibri wouldn't always start playback with the correct Song
  • Colibri wouldn't properly read DOS/Windows formatted .m3u playlists with ^M carriage-return character end-of-line characters
  • Colibri would crash if an XML file is present within a dragged folder
  • Volume slider would flash for a split second when pressing Play/Pause while AirPlay/Audio signal override was active
Remarks:
  • Added a bit more logging for AirPlay and preload related issues to the Debug Log for easier troubleshooting

... I was mainly looking for an app that doesn't consume a lot of RAM: and well, I have several similar programs, and these yellow [Japanese and Chinese] ones offer for a fraction of the money some fantastic programs. If you do some weird scripting, it closes unexpectedly, but overall I love it. and it can be used by up to five family members! for about ten bucks! well; this is a no-brainer: my sincere congratulations to its author ...

Brillant sound on my Bose iMac and my Bose Soundlink Bluetooth Box. Thanks a Million mate! XLR encoded as AIFF-c VHQ linear, and it rocks fantastic. Fuck iTunes and Quicktime. Apple Lossless is a joke!

Better than Vox: Vox has been my go to media player for my mac. But, recently, the app has gone to a subscription mode, and many features require registration. It is no more a lightweight player that it used to be. I was looking for a replacment. I find Colibri. It is great; fast, efficient. The developer is also very responsive. I requested a couple of features in Reddit. It was a nice surprise after a couple of weeks to find that the developer has implemented them all.
