X Lossless Decoderxld Is A Tool For Mac

Oct 06, 2019  By simply setting XLD's conversion parameter to ALAC - Apple Lossless Audio Codec - I can easily drag and drop one, dozens or hundreds of FLAC files onto XLD's icon on my desktop, and they are quickly converted to readable.mp4 files - which iTunes recognizes - without any quality loss, because both FLAC and ALAC are lossless codecs. X Lossless Decoder (also known as XLD) is a straightforward and minimalist macOS application that aims to provide you with all the tools.

You can specify the following options:

-c cuesheet
