SplitTunes For Mac

If you ever found yourself in the situation of having to share your earphones with someone that does not share your musical tastes, you undoubtedly know how excruciating the experience can be.

SplitTunes is a minimalist OS X audio player that comes with two playback consoles instead of one and allows you to send different songs to each ear bud.

Right off the bat, you must start by providing the source directory for each playlist: SplitTunes will automatically import the tracks, and even integrates a basic search tool to help you find particular songs faster.

To avoid performing this action each time you open the SplitTunes application, navigate to the app’s Preferences window and set a default source playlist location for each side of the earphones.

Unfortunately, while browsing the song’s library or running search tasks, the SplitTunes user interface froze for a couple of seconds, so you must be patient.

The SplitTunes application allows you to play tracks in playlist mode, but you can also quickly switch to the controller panel.

The SplitTunes players sport quite elementary functions: you can adjust the volume, skip to the next or the previous track, or use the slider bar to jump to different points in the timeline.

Moreover, SplitTunes provides details about the current playback time, about the total track time, and enables you to shuffle your playlist, to start over from the top, or repeat an individual song.

To conclude, whenever you have to share your earphones with someone else, yet you don’t want to be listening to their music, SplitTunes comes to the rescue.

The player sends different tracks to each earbud and even provides separate controls for the playback.
