Pine Player
Pine Player is a macOS media player focused on high-resolution music playback, playlist control, and broad support for audio and video formats.
What is Pine Player?
Pine Player is a native macOS media player for listening to music and playing video files in a wide range of formats. It is designed for users who keep local media libraries, use high-resolution audio, or want more playback control than a basic built-in player provides. Pine Player supports common and lossless audio formats, DSD playback features, playlist management, lyrics and metadata tools, and audio adjustments such as equalizer controls. The app also includes media conversion features and support for external playback workflows such as AirPlay and network media use. Pine Player is published by Digipine and is best suited to Mac users who want a dedicated desktop player for local media, DAC-based listening, and flexible file handling.
Key features
- Play a wide range of audio and video file formats from local storage.
- Handle high-resolution audio playback, including lossless formats and DSD-related workflows.
- Create and organize playlists with drag-and-drop library management.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Pine Player is a legitimate media player for macOS. For its normal purpose, it may access media files you open, read music metadata, and use audio output devices such as speakers, headphones, or external DAC hardware. If you use network playback features, the app may communicate with devices on your local network, which is expected for streaming and remote-control functions. Keep media apps updated, and only open files from sources you trust if you use format conversion or playback of uncommon media types.
Recommendation: Keep Pine Player if you use it for local music, video playback, or high-resolution audio on your Mac. If you no longer use it, you can remove the app and its support files without affecting macOS, though you may lose playlists, settings, or library-related data stored by the app.
