Cog is a free and open source audio player for macOS 10.15+, originally by Vincent Spader and now maintained by Christopher Snowhill (kode54). It supports a very wide range of audio formats with gapless playback, equalizer, Last.fm scrobbling, and streaming support.

Use cases

  • gapless audio playback macos
  • play dsd and dsdiff files
  • listen to shoutcast and icecast streams
  • play midi files with soundfonts
  • scrobble to last.fm from mac
  • play cue sheets with album artwork

When to choose

  • you want a lightweight native macOS player that plays nearly any audio format
  • you need gapless playback and lossless format support
  • you want streaming, MIDI, or CUE sheet support in one player

When to avoid

  • you need a cross-platform player (macOS only)
  • you want a library-management or music-store style app
  • you need a player for Windows or Linux
