Free MP3 Player for Mac with Web Radio
Everything you need to simply enjoy your music, in one free app.
Volume
ReplayGain
No more reaching for the volume knob between songs. GrooveTag Lite measures the loudness of each MP3 when it is added and remembers it, so every track plays at the same level.
Sound
Pre-Tuned Sound
GrooveTag Lite comes with a sound profile that is tuned in advance for punchy, clear playback. Nothing to set up, just press play. Want to shape the sound yourself? The full version adds a 10-band equalizer with presets.
Interface
Instant Zoom Controls
Scale the entire interface in 10% increments via keyboard shortcut or the View menu. Resize the window to full screen height for a better overview of your library.
Design
Frosted Glass Design
A refined frosted-glass interface built for macOS, with translucent panels and smooth blur effects for a modern look that feels right at home on your Mac.
Privacy
Privacy First
No data storage, no tracking, no subscription. An internet connection is used exclusively for playing web radio streams, and for absolutely nothing else.
