Native Lossless Audio for macOS – A refreshingly new addition to the audio player scene.

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. The application is built using state-of-the-art Swift 3 programming language, the BASS audio engine is bundled as machine code while the interface uses built-in components by Apple. This was done in order to achieve a tiny footprint and to be as native to macOS as humanly possible.

Plays your audio – Colibri is able to playback the most widely used range of file formats in terms of lossless audio: FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, APE, TTA, DSD and WavPack – along with these popular lossy formats: Ogg Vorbis, MP1/MP2/MP3 and AAC/M4A – along with network streams/online radio! Additional format support might be considered if requested.

Handles CUE Sheets – Colibri reads, processes – and to some extent – sanitizes cue sheets. Malformed and disordered content is reprocessed during loading and should audio files written in the sheet be missing then Colibri makes a few educated guesses on the possible file name/extension. If the sheet does not contain artist, song title or album information then Colibri tries to extract the song info from the audio file header itself.

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 – Colibri saves your current playlist upon quitting and re-opens your songs when you start it up again, maintaining the song data between playback sessions, regardless of having them previously loaded from CUE sheets or single files. Apple's Sandbox protection is fully supported.

Avoids most problems – Colibri does its' best to avoid most problems before, during and after playback – however there are situations where error checking and guessing indexes won't suffice. Loading unsupported files show up as an error message in the status bar and files that have disappeared since loading are automatically removed and skipped upon being reached in the playlist.

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. The only data it remembers are your playlist and settings: the loop mode state, whether to show the menubar and which pieces of info text to display in the status bar – nothing else!

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. Wifi signal 4 2 2011.

Resides in your Menu Bar – Colibri can place an unobtrusively small icon in the Menu Bar for easy access and playlist control: you can either start/pause the playback, skip to the next track or go back to the previous one. It also displays the info and cover art image of the current song.

Integrates with Finder – Colibri conforms all of Apple's strict requirements – which means that it shows up in Finder as an option in 'Open With' when a supported file is selected. Which in turn also makes it an available as a suggested file association option.

Adjusts to your Display – Colibri's interface elements scale themselves nicely on every screen resolution and pixel density.

Colibri 1.8.11 Changelog

  • Sandbox permission granting could not always load the file the permission was asked for
  • Mass-deleting and quickly re-adding multiple files at the same time could cause Colibri to crash
  • In some cases corrupt/missing files would cause a bit of a chaos: titles and their respective songs would get mixed up
  • Songs originating from CUE sheets that were not in UTF-8 BOM format would have ‘Unknown Artist' shown as their Performer after exiting and relaunching Colibri – even though they had been correctly read the first time they were added


Colibri 1.6 changelog

General improvements and changes:

  • Added DSD codec support (.dsf and .dff file extensions)
  • Added Respond to Media Keys switchable option in Settings
  • Added 'Pre-cache next song' function and option to Settings (and is also enabled by default)
  • Fixed a bug where cover art loading could cause a delay in song info update during song change
  • Seeking will only reposition the playhead when you let go of the seeker
  • Seekbar has been reworked to provide a smoother seeking experience
  • Fixed a bug where the Colibri title bar would stay white on macOS 10.11 El Capitan
  • Fixed a bug where the Playlist header (or even first row) would have white background color on first run
  • Fixed a bug where having the current song on loop wouldn't work if it originated from a Cue sheet

CUE Sheet handling improvements (when a folder is opened/dragged to the playlist)

  • Colibri first looks for the CUE sheet and loads the songs described in it
  • If the CUE sheet is malformed then Colibri reads what is salvageable and tries to guess the missing contents
  • If the CUE sheet is unusable/unreadable then Colibri adds all the songs in the containing folder one by one
  • The scanning is done recursively through all the subfolders of the opened/dragged folder

Playlist handling updates: Microsoft office for mac standard 2011 volume license.

  • Colibri can now save/load its' playlist to a custom file format (.colibriPlaylist)
  • Added M3U / M3u8 playlist file format loading/appending support
  • Added File -> Load Playlist (wipes current playlist and loads selected playlist)
  • Added File -> Append Playlist (adds selected playlists' items to current playlist)
  • Dragging a playlist file to Colibri appends its' contents to the current playlist
