Colibri 1.8.10

Native Lossless Audio for macOS with BS2B support

Colibri is a native macOS audio player built from scratch on top of the award-winning BASS technology, supports cristal-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.

Saves your battery

Colibri uses a barely noticable amount of computing power during the playback of your music.

Plays your audio

• FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, APE, TTA, DSD, WavPack
• Ogg Vorbis, MP1/MP2/MP3 and AAC/M4A
• network streams/online radio
• MOD and MIDI files (with per song SoundFont support)
• 10band Equalizer

Handles CUE Sheets

Reads, processes- and to some extent- sanitizes cue sheets

Supports gapless playback

Colibri is extensively designed from the ground-up to provide a true gapless listening experience- with or without using a Cue Sheet.

Picks up where you left off

Saves your current playlist upon quitting and re-opens your songs when you start it up again.

Avoids most problems

Colibri does its’ best to avoid most problems before, during and after playback.

Understands your language

Colibri is capable of rendering the song information as it was intended to be shown: of all the tried metadata it had no problem with displaying cyrillic or kanji/katakana/hiragana characters mixed with ASCII.

Respects your privacy

Colibri does not phone home, collect usage data or modify files in any way.

Displays album art- Colibri displays embedded cover art for FLAC files and ID3/iTunes artwork metadata for other files (mainly M4A / ALAC and MP3). When that yields not results then it looks in the folder where the current song resides for a cover art image.

Resides in your Menu Bar

Colibri can place an unobtrusively small icon in the Menu Bar for easy access and playlist control

Integrates with Finder

Colibri conforms all of Apple’s strict requirements

Adjusts to your Display

Colibri’s interface elements scale themselves nicely on every screen resolution and pixel density.

Compatibility: OS X 10.11 or later, 64bit
