Given the state of things and the recommendation by @cormiertyshawn895, I would highly suggest you move to Swinsian. I have moved to the beta (Version 3.0 Preview 13 (595)) now and am highly pleased with it and the developer's responsiveness and care for his app. This has now proven to be on par wrt features with and even uses less system resources than iTunes.

@ylluminate thanks for the suggestion. However, if I am not mistaken, Swinsian does not feature crossfade and loudness normalisation (ReplayGain or similar) which are available in iTunes.
At least, not on the stable version (2.3.6)

@mirko77 I'm using Swinsian 3.0 Preview 15 (597) (You get get from here and use the free trial: https://swinsian.com/sparkle_beta/sparklecast.xml) and it's pretty friggin' awesome. It has gapless playback and I have zero problems with volume levels.

Check out the changelog for all 3 releases to see if what you want is addressed:

And if you've got a problem, just email James. He's pretty awesome and cares about making great software.

I've migrated an enormous library over to it and it's really fantastic compared to iTunes now. I'm really grateful for the less system resource usage and more responsive feel.
