• Is Plexamp an effective solution for moving local files to an iOS device without iTunes?

  It does. Give a try to Swinsian instead, it's not free but it worth every pennies. I manage a 20k+ flac collection with ease with it. Source: about 1 year ago

• Can anyone recommend a good Mac mp3 player to add star ratings to tracks?

  Swinsian is one of the best music players on macOS - you can edit idv3 tags directly from the player. Source: about 1 year ago

• I stopped streaming music, and went back to my iPod Shuffle

  I ripped all my old CDs to lossless and now play them back on my mac using Swinsian. It’s like the original itunes but works like a charm. Https://swinsian.com. Source: about 1 year ago

• Whipper: Accurate Audio CD Ripping

  I found Swinsian[1] after I ditched iTunes, It works quite good and I’m very happy with it. While I rip all tracks separately the FAQ states: „Swinsian also supports albums ripped as a single file together with a cue file, and FLAC, Ogg Vorbis and WavPack files with embedded cue information„. There is a free trial, maybe this works for you. [1] https://swinsian.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• So. . .given lack of Roon support and recent acquisition by Harman. . .any realistic alternatives?

  Https://jriver.com/ It does a lot of what Roon does. It also includes local videos and youtube. Source: 5 months ago

• What is the best mp3 player that also displays the album art while the file is playing?

  It's not free, but I'm a big fan of JRiver Media Center and have been using it for many years. It is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Your license will last forever, but you do need to pay for major version upgrades (once-per-year). I'm an audiophile with a substantial library and I'm personally happy to support efforts like this, but I get that paying isn't for everyone. Source: 12 months ago

• Newbie question about volume control in my streaming setup

  I use JRiver Server with my WiiM Pro and it works flawlessly. Source: about 1 year ago

• Why can’t they abstract?

  I suspect another commercial product, JRiver Media Center, might be more flexible than Mezzmo (less arbitrary about what you can and can't do), but it sounds like the Android and Android TV client is probably a mess. I've never done a setup with it. Source: about 1 year ago

• program for ripping CDs with correct metadata

  Many media players support ripping 1 disc at a time at least. Even Windows Media player can rip to wave and FLAC. Foobar2000 is a good option here. I personally have my library in JRiver, which isn't free, but I've been happily using it for many years. Source: over 1 year ago
