Charcoal Player

Charcoal Player is back. Add your practice folder once, and your library stays exactly where you left it — through restarts, through updates. No ads, no account, no data collection: your music never leaves your Mac. Every feature the original app had in 2017 is free, forever. LYRICS, RIGHT ON THE PLAYER The app opens on Now Playing: big artwork, track info, and lyrics that scroll with the music. Lyrics come from your own files — a .lrc beside the track, lyrics embedded in the file, or a matching .txt. Nothing is looked up online. Adjust the offset per track when the timing is off (your audio file is never modified). Press ⌘L for the track list, which slides over the top. TAKE THE SOUND APART Play any song and split it into vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano — up to 6 stems, processed entirely on your Mac. Keep only the vocals to learn a melody, or mute them for a backing track. Meetings, interviews, and lectures get speaker lanes instead, so you can follow — or isolate — every voice in the room. Separation starts when you ask for it: press Separate This Track (or Analyze Speakers) in the panel. Already-separated tracks open instantly, and automatic start is still there in Settings ▸ Source separation. CLEAN, PITCH-PRESERVED SLOW-DOWN Practice at 0.5×–3.0× speed without the chipmunk-or-monster effect. Built for transcription, dictation, ear training, and slow practice of anything you're learning by ear. SAMPLE-ACCURATE A-B LOOP Mark a phrase, hit repeat, and it loops exactly — no drift at the boundary. One key for A, one for B, one to toggle the loop. YOUR LIBRARY, PROTECTED If a folder ever goes offline — an external drive unplugged, a permission that needs re-confirming — Charcoal Player never deletes your tracks. They're marked, not removed, and reconnecting takes one click. KEEP WHAT YOU ISOLATED Export any combination of stems or speakers — in original quality, or your pick of format (MP3, AAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, FLAC). PLAYLISTS, AND A SHORTCUT FROM FINDER Build playlists in the sidebar: drag tracks in, or right-click any track and choose Add to Playlist. Start from a playlist and it plays in that order. In Finder, right-click any audio file and choose Open With → Charcoal Player — it plays right away, and you choose whether it also joins your library. BUILT FOR THE MAC Full keyboard shortcuts, custom-second skip (0.5–30s), a menu bar mini controller with three lines of lyrics, 12 languages, and a window that resizes the way you want it to — not a phone app stretched onto a bigger screen. FREE, AND WHERE IT ENDS Everything above is free — playback, speed, A-B looping, and source separation (stems, speaker isolation) have no limits. Exporting to a file (a separated stem, a filtered speaker track, a re-encoded original) is free 3 times per rolling 24 hours. Beyond that, unlock unlimited exports with a one-time $49.99 Lifetime purchase, or an auto-renewing subscription at $2.99/month or $29.99/year — Family Sharing supported on all three. Owned the original 2017 Charcoal Player, or installed any version before 2.1.0? You already have unlimited exports, automatically.
