X Lossless Decoder Description

Decode/convert/play various 'lossless' audio files X Lossless Decoder(XLD) is a tool for Mac OS X that is able to decode/convert/play various 'lossless' audio files. The supported audio files can be split into some tracks with cue sheet when decoding. It works on Mac OS X 10.3 and later.XLD is Universal Binary, so it runs natively on both Intel Macs and PPC Macs.XLD supports the following formats:· (Ogg) FLAC (.flac/.ogg)· Monkey's Audio (.ape)· Wavpack (.wv)· TTA (.tta)· Apple Lossless (.m4a) · AIFF, WAV, etcOther formats supported by Libsndfile are also decodable. XLD uses not decoder frontend but library to decode, so no intermediate files are generated. All of the supported formats can be directly split with the cue sheet. XLD also supports so-called 'embedded' or 'internal' cue sheet.Currently you can choose output format from WAVE, AIFF and Raw PCM. In addition, you can choose MPEG-4 AAC (QuickTime/CoreAudio), MP3 (LAME), Ogg Vorbis (aoTuV), Apple Lossless and FLAC in the GUI version.Frontend and backend of XLD are prefectry separated, so the frontend is able to access the various decoder with the same interface. If we provide plug-in interface in the future, you can easily develop the plug-in of the new format. If this interests you, please see XLDDecoder.h in the source files.Here are some key features of "X Lossless Decoder":Support various formats:· XLD supports the following formats:· (Ogg) FLAC (.flac/.ogg)· Monkey's Audio (.ape)· Wavpack (.wv)· TTA (.tta)· Apple Lossless (.m4a) · AIFF, WAV, etc· Other formats supported by Libsndfile are also decodable.

What's New in This Release: · Added an experimental support for Shorten (decoding only) · Added option to load a specific file automatically as a cover art · Added option to scale embedded images smaller than the target size · Added option to control embedding album art · Added an option to set file type to 'OggS' in FLAC encoder (checked by default) · For the compatibility with FLACImport.component. Fixed a prblem that the duration of AAC file is not properly shown in iTunes in case the file is resampled by encoder · Fixed a problem when handling cuesheet (or disc) which has only one track with pregap · Fixed a filename issue in the cue sheet for separated files · Fixed a problem when reading defined but empty metadata in ALAC files · Fixed a problem that the state of "Cover Art" item in the "Query Items" submenu was not saved properly · Batch conversion now ignores invisible files (like .DS_Store) when scanning directory · AccurateRip checker now shows the result with alternate offset candidates · NSToolbar based preference pane
