I've so far tried Cog, iTunes, Winamp for Mac, Fidelia and a couple of other ones (Songbird).
All fail on either two things:
1) FLAC support
2) Ability to handle a very large collection effortlessly, and easily (scan & import, search & play)
On Linux and Windows I've been spoilt for choice with players, but iTunes dominance on Mac has meant that few players have matured enough to offer a compelling alternative.
With Enqueue it's as if you've been doing this maturing in private and now have arrived with all of the basic requirements taken care of and done well. You've nailed all of the core expectations without being distracted by bells and whistles (just take a look at Fidelia's UI and then remember it fails to import more than a couple of thousand tracks per import cycle - they missed what's important, getting your music in there in the first place).
So well done, seriously well done. If I hadn't just put myself on a literal ramen-budget diet I would right now be trying to badger you for your paypal to send you some money.
More than anything, you've just made my experience of being on a Mac considerably better.
I imported 19 000 songs and started playing a song while still importing and playback only paused once for maybe a second and then everything was smooth. Impressive really.
