X Lossless Decoder
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) [10.4 only]
· AIFF, WAV, etc
Other 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) [10.4 and later]
· AIFF, WAV, etc
· Other 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 Ogg Vorbis (aoTuV), MPEG-4 AAC (QuickTime/CoreAudio), MP3 (LAME), Apple Lossless, FLAC and HE-AAC (aacPlus v1/v2) in the GUI version.
Plug-in oriented design:
· 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 you are interested in this, please see XLDDecoder.h in the source files.
What's New in This Release:
· Added an option to preserve unknown metadata when transcoding
· Works for the conversion between FLAC, WavPack and Vorbis. This is enabled by default, but you can turn it off if you feel annoying.
· Supported external .cue in the batch conversion mode
· Audio data should be associated with FILE line in the cue sheet.
· Added a ripping mode that doesn't include the track 1 pregap (aka HTOA), but includes all remaining pregaps
· Added an option to choose the bit depth of linear PCM (Wav/AIFF/Wave64) output
· Added an option to enable/disable the autoset compilation flag functionality
· Format of filename field now can be used for single/batch file conversions
· Added "Apply This Item for the Same Album" context menu in tag editor (for "Edit tags before convert")
· XLD no longer sets the compilation flag automatically if album artist tag exists
· Fixed a problem that the track info for CD-extra discs wasn't imported from iTunes
