![]() ![]() My apologies for hijacking the the thread. If you encode your songs at 256kbps (VBR, constrained, maximum encoding quality) youll have virtually equivalent files, in size and quality, to those in the iTunes store. ![]() Use the drop-down menu to set the output format to FLAC. dlx wrote: Hi, I rip all my CDs to the best possible Mp3 settings, which are : 320kbps, CBR, Joint Stereo, Highest Quality, ReplayGain 95.00 (prevent clipping enabled). Id say you should discard mp3 as an option, they are too big in file size and not as efficient as aac. XLD will ask for a directory to save the files and begin processing the audio. Verify the track names and organize them if needed, then click Extract. XLD will detect the pregap and process the metadata for the disc. You will see the following set of options. In the File menu, hover Import Audio CD and select the disc you wish to import. Go to XLD -> Preferences to set up the General tab. And again, bringing XLD to shame, Max allows me to cancel a batch convert with a single click. The first thing to do is correctly set up XLD to rip with your Mac. ![]() Max utilizes multi-core processing and it will decode/convert two songs at the same time, speeding up the process for those who can't wait to listen to their spanking new songs. It provides me with the option to edit filenames before decoding them, along with customization of ID3 tags and album art via Amazon Album Art downloader. High-resolution audio can be lossless or lossy. ![]() On the other hand, high-resolution audio is better quality audio that has a higher bit depth and a high sampling rate. Any audio, whether high-resolution or not, can be lossless. Max will decode the files in all the formats selected resulting in one file but with several different formats! So, lossless audio doesn’t mean higher quality audio. You may choose one or several output formats but beware, if you select more than one, there isn't a prompt selection window just before decoding. It is so highly configurable that it has several OGG, MPEG4 and AAC output formats and plenty more formats which I've not heard of. Because of that, setting up the output format is pretty confusing. Like XLD, it supports all of the popular codecs (FLAC, APE, AAC etc.) and about thirty more. In addition to that, it is also a pretty decent audio converter. It's one of the more popular CD-ripping utilities for Mac. ![]()
