Clementine is a third party application that provides additional functionality to OS X system and enjoys a popularity among Mac users. However, instead of installing it by dragging its icon to the Application folder, uninstalling Clementine may need you to do more than a simple drag-and-drop to the Trash. Clementine is a lightweight, simple and clean music player and organizer that's based on the popular Amarok engine for Linux. When you start Clementine, you have to compile a library. Just select the folder you want Clementine to search and your library will be compiled in just a few seconds. Clementine is a cross-platform free and open source music player and library organizer. It is a port of Amarok 1.4 to the Qt 4 framework and the GStreamer multimedia framework. It is available for Unix-like, Windows and Mac OS X. Clementine is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License. Today, I'm comparing to prominent audio players for Mac – VOX Music Player and Clementine according to their functionality, compatibility, format support, interface and additional features. You can control the playback using an Android device or a Wii remote.
