PlayerLite — My First Somewhat Worthwhile Mac App.

For some reason I got sick of iTunes, and decided to make a simplified music player that can list all my songs, and play them too.

So, I opened XCode and got to work.

Here is the result.

It’s simple, but functional. I programmed it to find all the audio files in the User’s Music folder, and list them. All you have to do is click one, and click the play button. You can even move the slider to repeat a portion of the song.

Important things to note, audio file in the Music folder only will work. If it is in something like /Music/iTunes/music, it won’t work. In later versions, if this app gets any attention at all, I plan to:

• Make a proper icon for it.
• Make a preferences window where you can customize things such as the target music folder.
• Add pause capabilities.
• Etc…

I have integrated Sparkle, so the app will tell you when I have released an update, and it will automatically install it.
