More About Me
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Since I don’t do this nearly enough, I thought I’d highlight some useful free software that I’m a big fan of. XLD (X Lossless Decoder) is a Mac OS X app that does one thing, and does it extremely well: decodes, transcodes, and encodes lossless audio formats. Any time I pull some FLAC or Ogg files off of the Internet Archive, eTree, or the BitTorrent networks, I like to convert it to an iTunes-playable format (mp3 or Apple Lossless). I’ll leave the iTunes arguments to others; suffice it to say that I’m bound to it with my iPhone and iPods, and it is perfectly satisfactory for 99% of my needs. XLD ensures that transferring lossless audio into my library is a one-step process, ID3 tags intact. Check it out.
