Vox for Mac is my favorite music player. I use iTunes for managing my music library and Vox to play my local tracks. Other than Vox for music, I use Spotify for streaming music. Vox and Spotify are the apps I use for media but with Vox 2.1 update that Coppertino pushed two days back, I think I can now remove Spotify and just keep Vox. The features that are added in Vox 2.1 includes SoundCloud integration, that means Vox is now a full-featured SoundCloud app.
When SoundCloud had official app for Mac, I used to use that. But when they discontinued it, I stopped using SoundCloud at all because of the lack a good Mac client. A few days back, I wrote about StreamCloud which is also a SoundCloud app, but unfortunately it isn’t that good and lacks Search and some other features. Luckily, I will be able to stream SoundCloud tracks and play local tracks using the app now.

Thoughts
Vox 2.1 is pretty similar in interface but with added sections for Collections, Queue and SoundCloud, it looks a bit cluttered. The way the new features are integrated in Vox 2.1 is really nice.
An app that was built to play the file formats which wasn’t supported by iTunes is now a great iTunes alternative. I liked the app right from the starting and still like it because of its amazing interface and straight functionality.
