What is the crowd's opinion of Nulloy?

From 3.5 billion comments

For my default audio player I wanted something similar that also did this stuff:

• quick to open
• shows the waveform of the audio file - clickable to seek
• no useless empty video pane wasting screen space
• minimal buttons or anything else that I don't need cluttering up the screen
• lets you quickly navigate through all the files in the current folder (in case you don't want to trigger them individually from your file manager and close the program every time - this is faster to browse through folders quickly)
• quick to close
• bonus feature: lets you delete files without having to stop playing them first - you're less likely to delete the wrong file when you can delete from the player while its playing

Here's the best programs I found:

• Linux: http://nulloy.com/screenshots/ - this shows the timestamp as you hover over the seekbar/waveform like you asked for
• Windows: https://resonic.at/player - can't remember, but I'd be surprised if this didn't do the timestamp hover thing too

I wouldn't use these programs as my main music player - but they're really great as the default audio program for quickly navigating through a bunch of audio files across your filesystem.

Try foobar2000 - It has the capability but I dont think it's on by default, highly customizable though, should be easy to enable by defaulyt.

nulloy is simpler, but i can't tell if its actively maintained.

Both are completely free.

EDIT oh yeah, clementine! Great piece of software, has waveforms if you want 'em

sure, something like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fkip5y2zjky98in/mockup.png?dl=0

taking the already available in audio player in quicklook, but extend it with waveform preview, scrub, and audio information (bitrate and depth, sampling frequency, ID3, artwork, peak/rms) and a looping functionality to preview small samples in loop.

when previewing lots of audio files it's cumbersome to have them opened in an app, since the functionality to play them back is already on Finder via QuickLook. But the waveform display is very useful (take a guitar part from a song, maybe it has only 2min of music in 5min file, where the rest is silence, and getting to see this when previewing is quite useful)

the waveform in this mockup is from an open source player ( http://nulloy.com/ ), which I believe could be forked/extended to support a quicktime plugin.
