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 Apples strict requirements

Adjusts to your Display
Colibris interface elements scale themselves nicely on every screen resolution and pixel density.

Latest version Colibri: 2.1.7

Thank you for using Colibri! This update fixes even more issues related to M3U playlist loading and some annoying bugs related to opening files from Finder.

Updates:
- Colibri can now properly read iTunes/Music.app exported Playlist files in M3U and M3U8 formats

Fixes:
- Network streams would fail to load from M3U files
- Stopping and restarting a song via AirPlay could cause silence to be played
- AirPlay playback could softlock itself if the upcoming Song was unavailable
- Adding Songs from Finder would crash Colibri if the Clear playlist... option was enabled
- Colibri could crash/behave erratically if Load all songs from within... option was enabled
- When opening files from Finder, Colibri would not start playback at the song that was initially clicked on in Finder
- When dropping files to the Playlist, Colibri wouldnt always start playback with the correct Song
- Colibri wouldnt properly read DOS/Windows formatted .m3u playlists with ^M carriage-return character end-of-line characters
- Colibri would crash if an XML file is present within a dragged folder
- Volume slider would flash for a split second when pressing Play/Pause while AirPlay/Audio signal override was active

Remarks:
- Added a bit more logging for AirPlay and preload related issues to the Debug Log for easier troubleshooting
