XPCog XPCog
Audio Player for Windows, macOS and Linux

Cog, ported off the Mac.

XPCog is a port of Cog to wxWidgets and C++20 — the same decoders, the same gapless engine, the same settings keys, on Windows, macOS and Linux. It is early, and every build below is what CI published on the day it says.

Version 1.8.1 · Published Sep 7, 2026, 11:18 AM · Release on GitHub

On Arch Linux, build it from the AUR instead: xpcog — yay -S xpcog. It builds a tagged release from source, so it can trail the newest one above. Read the PKGBUILD before you build it. The AUR is user-submitted, and has repeatedly been used to ship malware through hijacked orphan packages — nothing on it is vetted for you, this package included.

Changes

  • Count the reloaded scrobble queue before it can be sent (c10745c)
  • Hand out whole frames only, so a starved ring cannot swap the channels (8e16538)

Downloads

  • XPCog-1.8.1-x64-setup.exe — Windows x64. Unsigned, as a locally built one is; SmartScreen will say so.
  • XPCog-1.8.1-arm64.dmg — macOS on Apple silicon. Signed with a Developer ID and notarised. Not a universal binary: arm64 only, so an Intel Mac cannot run it.
  • XPCog-1.8.1-x86_64.tar.gz — Linux x86_64. Unpack it at the prefix you mean to run it from; the desktop file’s Exec is an absolute path, and everything else in the archive is relocatable. Needs glibc 2.39 or newer — Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 13, current Fedora, Arch and openSUSE. Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12 and RHEL 9 are below that line. wxWidgets and GTK come from your distribution; the codecs are linked in.
