Hands-on: Vox 2.0 player

On Tuesday, Coppertino is releasing Vox 2.0 (http://coppertino.com/vox/), a redesigned version of its free music player for OS X. I got a chance to try a nearly final version prior to launch, and I was happy to see some welcome changes to my default live-music player.</p><h2>Gapless playback</h2>

Gapless playback is one of the key additions in 2.0.</p></figcaption></figure>

The most useful new feature to me is the addition of gapless audio playback. I use Vox mostly to listen to concerts that I’ve downloaded in FLAC or MP3 format—and that don’t live in my iTunes library—and the tiny pause between tracks in the the old version drove me nuts. (It’s also a problem with albums whose tracks segue smoothly into one another, à la Dark Side of the Moon.)</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2089401/hands-on-vox-2-0-player.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
