X Lossless Decoder:Lossless audio decoder for Mac OS X
Last modified:
What is this?
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 10.4 and later.
XLD is Universal Binary, so it runs natively on both Intel Macs and PPC Macs.
Features
Support various formats
XLD can decode following formats:
(.flac/.oga)
(.tta)
Apple Lossless (.m4a)
(.tak) [Requires ,
(.shn) [SHN v3 only]
AIFF, WAV, etc
Other formats supported by
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.
XLD supports various output formats. It can convert audio files into WAVE, AIFF, Raw PCM, ), MPEG-4 AAC (QuickTime/CoreAudio), MP3 (), Apple Lossless, FLAC, HE-AAC (aacPlus v1/v2), Wave64, , and .
XLD version
and later can be used as a CD ripper. You can convert each track in your audio CD into the desired format. Also XLD supports output a CD image with cue sheet (wav+cue, flac+cue, etc).
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.
How to use
IMPORTANT NOTE : To split ape(flac,wav,etc) + cue files, open the .cue file from "Open..." in File menu. "Open Raw PCM (bin/cue)" can be only used to handle Raw PCM (header-less wav) files.
Prease refer Readme file included in the archive to get usage of GUI version. Usage of command line version is:
% xld [-c cuesheet] [-e] [-f format] [-o outpath] [-t track] file
Without any option, XLD simply outputs decoded WAVE file. The extension of the output file is changed from original one into ".wav"
You can specify the following options:
-c cuesheet
Split file into tracks with cue sheet. If 'TITLE or 'ARTIST' is described in the cue sheet it affects the name of the output file.
Exclude pre-gap from output file. Pre-gap is appended to the last of tracks by default. This option is ignored when '-c' option is not specified.
Specify the format of the output file. You can specify the following formats:
wav
Microsoft WAVE format. This is default output format. Extension is ".wav".
aif
Apple AIFF format. Extension is ".aiff".
raw_big
Big-endian raw(linear) PCM format. Extension is ".pcm".
raw_little
Little-endian raw(linear) PCM format. Extension is ".pcm".
-o outpath
Specify the path or name of the output file. If outpath is a directory, output file is saved in that directory.
If you specify "1" as a track, only the track 1 is decoded. Likewise, Track 2 and 4 are decoded when you specify "2,4" as a track.
Read input file as Raw PCM. Following 4 options can be specified.
--samplerate n
Set samplerate of input file to n Hz when --raw option is specified. Default is 44100 Hz.
Set bit depth of input file to n bit when --raw option is specified. Default is 16 bit.
--channels n
Set number of channels of input file to n ch when --raw option is specified. Default is 2 ch.
--endian little/big
Set endian of input file when --raw option is specified. Default is little.
Examples
% xld -o ~/Music hoge.flac -f aif
Decode hoge.flac in the AIFF format, and output in ~/Music.
% xld -c hoge.cue -t 1,3 hoge.flac
Split hoge.flac with hoge.cue, and decode the 1st and 3rd tracks.
The source code of XLD is available . The library and header of Libsndfile, FLAC, Wavpack, Monkey's audio and Libcddb is required to compile.

Offering a log checker plugin
You can get the log checker plugin from the download section above. After installing the plugin to the plugin folder, XLD appends a signature at the end of a logfile when ripping. The signature looks like:
-----BEGIN XLD SIGNATURE-----
mMJSbD31PhaFo8bBL1fCLK3y90Bs0KAZVujXt0kIeWh_e0kQ_ydn9CxjxLazFWwLbRb6wXZuV7GP5cL4ZT2X4TpUEhN7N4WnL4UoULa
-----END XLD SIGNATURE-----
For logfiles which have the signature, log tamper detection can be done with XLD version
or later (the plugin must be installed). To perform a check, run XLD and choose XLD menu -> Log checker. Checking is done quickly and the result appears when you drag files to the log checker window. Also, by using the command line version,
% xld --logchecker logfile.log
will check files.

MusicBrainz access via New Generation Schema
This is a change for the backend, so you won't see any noticeable change with this.
Added an interface to associate MusicBrainz DiscID with the existing releas in the MB databasee
Updated drive offset database
Implemented CD burning feature
Clicking "Burn CD" button in the toolbar of the track list window triggers a CD burner. Apple's standard CD burner GUI will appear and proceed.
Note that the verification process requires an offset correction, so both read/write offset value (in CD Burn pref) should be set correctly for the exact match. Otherwise the verification will fail. If you are not sure about the write offset of your drive, burn AccurateRip verifiable image with the write offset 0, and rip the burned disc with the correct read offset. Then, the AR report will suggest offset values, and the relative one will be the write offset.
Here is a current status list of the XLD burner:
write flac/ape/wv/etc+cue image to CD directly
take care of write offset
reproduce pregap length
write ISRC/MCN
write pre-emphasis/DCP flag
XLD does not (at this moment)
handle HTOA perfectly
Due to the limitation of Apple's framework, some drives fail to burn images including HTOA (MATSHITA will work, NEC/Pioneer will not). And HTOA longer than 1 second is truncated.
create Mixed Mode CD
create Enhanced CD (CD-Extra)
write CD-Text

Supported AccurateRip2 CRC
If XLD finds a match with AR2 CRC, a log says like
AccurateRip signature
->Accurately ripped! (AR2, confidence 10)
Supported offset finding CRC in AR database
Now XLD uses offset finding CRC for detecting different pressings. It works better for the first and last track.
Fixed a problem that a filename format identifier %A did not work for 1-to-1 file transcoding
Fixed a problem when ripping with 0 offset correction value
Fixed a crash problem when read error occured
Various small fixes around the ripping log
Fixed a potential memory leak
Introduced a new original secure ripping engine
This is a brand-new secure ripping engine employing a statistical error correction and a cache defeat. Generally it shows a better and more consistent result than the existing CDParanoia engine, especially on slightly damaged discs. At this moment it is not turned on by default, but I recommend everyone try it. Enabled by setting "Ripper Mode" option to "XLD Secure Ripper".
Here is a description of the error in the report:
Jitter error (maybe fixed)
Number of reads which caused a jitter error. The error occurs when seeking between sectors back and forward heavily - the drive fails to return the accurate sector position and returns a slightly moved position. Fixed by the program in most cases.
Retry sector count
Number of sectors which needed a retry read. The program performs a retry read when the 1st and the 2nd (verify) read results do not match (or when C2 error is detected). In case a statistically consistent result was found with the retry reads, this count is incremented. Not a problem in most cases.
Damaged sector count
Number of sectors in which the program was unable to find a statistically consistent result with the retry reads. Bad result in most cases.
Implemented a new CD ripper backed
Libcdio was used as a backend so far, but now it has been replaced with my original implementation. Many troubles like a hangup on CD-extra discs should be fixed now.

Fixed a minor glitch in the rip log formatting
Fixed a problem with ape files including invalid (null-terminated) text tags
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.

Fixed a problem that the track info for CD-extra discs wasn't imported from iTunes
Fixed a problem that the compilation flag had higher priority than the album artist tag for the replacement of %A
Fixed a problem that the album artist info was incorrectly removed in some cases when reading cue sheets
Added an experimental support for TAK decoder (intel only)
Now XLD provides TAK decoder powered by . You should install and configure Wine correctly to use the plugin (wine command should be in $PATH of your login shell).
Technical topic: The TAK plugin is composed of 2 parts, a backend winelib app and a frontend Cocoa plugin. The backend loads TAK DLL and calls TAK API using the Wine technology, and the frontend interacts with the backend using IPC. This way we can transparently access the TAK DLL as if it were natively supported on OSX.
Added option to move converted files to the destination folder after finish
This is useful when saving to iTunes watch folder while iTunes is running.
Added compatibility with older ape files

Integrated drive offset database into application
You can select the offset correction value for your drive if it is registered in the database.
Added option to use C2 error pointers
When the option is turned on, XLD first read a sector in burst mode, and check the occurrence of C2 error. If C2 error occurs, then XLD re-read the sector with cdparanoia. This accelerates ripping extremely for the drive with C2 error support (Plextor, NEC, etc), without losing safety. If you use this option, please make sure that your drive supports reporting C2 errors.
Supported folder conversion
XLD now accepts folder! There is an option to preserve the whole directory structures, and to control the depth of subfolder to read in preferences.

Implemented a feature to check offset in the ripping stage
Now XLD performs a real-time offset checking while ripping, when the CD is available in AccurateRip DB. The result is written in the log if found.
Integrated cdparanoia-III 10.2 engine
You can use the old engine by checking "Use old CDParanoia engine" checkbox.
Added option to set the strength of the cache defeating ability
Only for the new engine. Stronger is safer, but slower. Stronger setting will be useful for the drive which has a large cache.

CDParanoia engine
Pregap length detection
Read sample offset correction
To read a CD, select "Open Audio CD" from File menu. You can save tracks as separated files, or a single file with a cuesheet. When you save as a single file and selected output format is FLAC or Wavpack, cuesheet is embedded into the file itself.
Supported output cuesheet
Character encoding is always UTF-8 with BOM, which is complatible with foobar2000.
Added option to add files to iTunes after conversion
Supported bitrate information tags for iTunes 7.7 in AAC encoder
Implemented iTunes-like metadata editor
You can now edit metadata before converting by enabling "Edit tags before convert" checkbox in prefs. A metadata editor dialog appears before conversion. In case of cue sheet, select a track and choose "Edit metadata..." in File menu or context menu. Multiple tracks can be modified simultaneously.
Fixed a bug in ALAC decoding
Updated LAME to version 3.98

Added "Cancel All Tasks" context menu to the progress window
Slightly improved performance of LAME mp3 encoder
Updated LAME 3.98b8 plugin
More Altivec optimization has been applied. Now 10-15% faster than the previous version on G4/G5 machine ().
Updated LAME 3.98b8 plugin
A part of psychoacoustic analysis routine for vbr-new has been optimized for AltiVec. This resulted in about 15% speedup on G4/G5 machine.
Updated LAME 3.98b8 plugin
Enabled asm routine for Intel CPU; now 20% faster than before.
Provided LAME 3.98b8 Plugin
There are various changes since 3.97. The interface is slightly changed because now floating-point quality value can be specified in VBR mode for more flexible quality control. This version is uniquely optimized for AltiVec (as 3.97 in the current XLD), so it is faster for G4/G5 users than the original version.
Provided aoTuV b5.5 Plugin
Supported reading cover art in ape/wavpack files
Supported album artist metadata in some formats
Reduced memory usage when importing cover art
Added German localization
Added French localization
Notes: Cover art obtained from iTunes Store isn't embedded in music file itself. So XLD cannot read cover art form such kind of ALAC files.
(a)Fixed MP3 encoder to work correctly on G4/G5 Mac
Added support for embbeded cover art
XLD now can read embedded cover art in FLAC and ALAC, and can embed cover art in (HE-)AAC, MP3, FLAC and ALAC. If you want to embed the existing image file, drag and drop the file to the box as shown in the figure below. Large images can be scaled when embedding. Scaling option is in the pref pane.
Metadata supported by mp3 encoder was increased
For the detail, please see
database
No specific configuration is required. XLD automatically querys MBDB when querying FreeDB.
Fixed bug that prevented decoding TTA files with ID3 tag
Changed timescale of m4a file created by HE-AAC encoder to 600
Fixed bug that caused corrupt .m4a output when encoding 48kHz file
Gave up support for 32kHz input in HE-AAC encoder due to very limited bitrate range
cf. mono file must be encoded at bitrate <= 44kHz.
Updated Simplified Chinese localization resources
Added support for HE-AAC output by
Supported bitrate range is 16-64kbps. Parametric stereo is used if bitrate <= 44kbps. Supported input frequency is 32, 44.1 and 48kHz.
For high-quality playback, use
or . AAC decoders based on QuickTime cannot handle SBR and PS part.
Integrated MP3 decoder
Still no support for ID3 reading.
Fixed bug that caused crash when Raw PCM import
Disabled option of writing accurate bitrate in AAC encoder on Leopard (GUI)
I noticed that this option is meaningless on Leopard, because AAC encoder on Leopard writes accurate bitrate by default.
(currently in Japanese only)
Updated converter routine to enable multi-threaded conversion (GUI)
You can set maximum number of threads from Preference.
Supported writing accurate bitrate in AAC encoder (GUI)
Now similar to iTunes.
GMT)Updated again because VBR quality is not saved
Supported ABR and unconstrained(true) VBR mode in AAC encoder (GUI)
The new AAC encoder is available on Leopard, or Tiger with QuickTime 7.3 installed. Here is a brief explanation of available modes:
CBR
Keep a bitrate constant, but it is not perfectly constant due to a bit reservoir.
ABR
Try to encode at a target bitrate on an average. It fluctuates bitrate locally more than CBR because bitrate restriction is applied in a longer time span compared to CBR.
VBR (Constrained)
Fluctuates bitrate according to the difficulty of encoding. It constrains variation range due to the target bitrate. So It doesn't fully take advantage of VBR feature, but more efficient than ABR. Older version of XLD and iTunes use this as VBR mode.
True VBR
Fluctuates bitrate according to the difficulty of encoding to maintain a target quality. Bitrate variation is unconstrained. Theoretically it provides the best tradeoff between quality and bitrate, but bitrate is hard to predict. Apple's implementation requires target quality in 0 to 127 range. As a guide, quality 0 is about 32kbps, 90 is about 128kbps, and 127 is about 192kbps, respectively.
True VBR mode requires target quality, and the others require target bitrate. Unlike the previous version, the target bitrate can be specified at any value in 16-320kbps.
Added Simplified Chinese localization (GUI)
Thanks to Shonete Smith.
Updated AAC/Apple Lossless encoder to fix the compatibility problem with Leopard (GUI)
Added in ver. a: fixed a remaining bug in AAC encoder (GUI)
The bug occurs when encode a file longer than a few minutes with tag on Leopard... sorry.
Updated FLAC to version 1.2.1
Changed default extension for Ogg FLAC from .ogg to .oga according to the new specification (GUI)
Improved performance of tag writing for AAC/ALAC output plugin (GUI)
Fixed a bug that album name is incorrectly set to the last track title when reading embedded cuesheet (GUI)
Updated FLAC to version 1.2.0
It will be slightly faster on Intel Macs due to enabling MMX/SSE codes.
Partially rewritten Monkey's Audio/TTA decoder with SSE optimization
Notes: TTA version 3.4.1 has been released, but it has no improvement on decoder and lost 32bit float decoding capability. So XLD still uses version 3.3.
Fixed overwriting problem when both input and output file have the same name (GUI)
Fixed a bug that prevented decoding ALAC files on Intel Mac
Updated WavPack to version 4.41
Partially fixed a bug that caused crashes on iPod when playing Apple Lossless file encoded by XLD
"Partially" means that I don't understand a fundamental cause of this bug. Probably this is a problem of iPod or CoreAudio. Note that you don't have to re-encode ALAC files unless you play those files with iPod.
Fixed a bug that prevented converting 24/32-bit files to Apple Lossless
Fixed some minor issues
Updated FLAC to version 1.1.4
Supported reading cuesheet which has index over 99:99:99
Improved handling of character encodings in cuesheet
Added option to get only the specific info from CDDB (GUI)
Please refer to "Query Items" submenu in "CDDB" menu.
Improved handling of 32bit floating-point audio files
Added option to select stereo mode in LAME output plugin (GUI)
Please use with default (Auto) setting if you have no special reason.
Updated WavPack to version 4.40
Fixed a problem that caused some noises at the beginning of the file when XLD read AIFF directly from the Audio CD mounted on desktop
This may be a bug of Libsndfile, but I temporarily dealt with it on my side.
Added interface to select character encodings of cuesheet (GUI)
Added an application icon
Updated FLAC to version 1.1.3
Supported Ogg FLAC output (GUI)
Some minor bug fixes
Added option to fix the offset by 30 samples
Related to
problem... This option partially correct the problem that the offset data measured by EAC is wrong in 30 samples. If this option is enabled, 30 zero samples are inserted into the beginning of the file and 30 samples are truncated at the end of the file.
The option in the command-line version is "--correct-30samples".
Note that this option must NOT be used with the file which is nothing to do with the problem.
Updated FLAC to version 1.1.3b2
Supported OggFLAC input
Changed FLAC handler from libsndfile to native libFLAC
Huge commit around FLAC. Seeking is now stable. Support of OggFLAC output is implemented, but disabled in the interface because it generates corrupt file...
(Revision 2)
Fixed problem that XLD did not work on OSX 10.3 since version
(GUI)
Sorry...
Fixed problem that XLD failed to decode the file with tag whose character encoding is invalid
Spun off player interface (GUI)
Enabled player to open the file without cuesheet (GUI)
Enabled player to seek anywhere in the file (GUI)
Fixed the bug that prevented ALAC playback (GUI)
To play file without cuesheet, please select "Show Player" from Window menu and drag file there. There is no change for playing the file with cuesheet, i.e., open the cuesheet and double-click the track you want to play.
I already recognized the crash bug when seeking FLAC file. This is probably due to Libsndfile, which XLD depends on when decoding FLAC. I'll try to write the new FLAC decoder to fix this bug.
Improved playback function (GUI)
Improved buffering scheme, made seeking faster, and several bug fixes.
Updated libcddb to version 1.3.0
Added some supported tags to convert
Supported tag list is .
Supported Raw PCM input in the command-line version
Please use --raw option to read.
Supported conversion of metadata(tags) from ALAC (GUI)
Fixed problem that prevent G5 machine from reading LAME output plugin (GUI)
I missed this problem for a long time... Sorry.
Fixed remember to convert DATE string to YEAR when read from cuesheet (GUI)
"REM GENRE" and "REM DATE" lines are now read from embedded cuesheet (GUI)
Some minor fixes
Provided aoTuV b5 Plugin
To use, please remove old "XLDVorbisOutput.bundle" and add the new one from the plugin section of Finder's show info panel . You may also directly replace the file in XLD.app/Contents/PlugIns with the new one. Note that the default version included in XLD will be b4.51 for some while because the quality is quite steady.
Supported conversion of metadata(tags) partially (GUI)
In case the input format is FLAC or Monkey's Audio or WavPack, some metadata in the tag are preserved(if output format supports). Preserved metadata are: TITLE, ARTIST, ALBUM, TRACKNUMBER, GENRE, YEAR, COMMENT, etc. Note that metadata is ignored when cuesheet exists.
Supported reading "Genre" and "Year" information from cuesheet and CDDB (GUI)
"REM GENRE" and "REM DATE" line is read, respectively.
Supported internal/embedded cuesheet for Monkey's Audio (GUI)
Changed interface when "Open as Raw PCM(+cue)" is selected (GUI)
Supported internal/embedded cuesheet for FLAC and WavPack (GUI)
Supported foobar2000's original format.
Supported Raw PCM input (GUI)
Select "Open as Raw PCM(+cue)" in the dialog which appears after open the file, or choose "Open as raw PCM (bin/cue)..." from the File menu. Then you will get a dialog to select the format of the raw PCM file. You can choose format and open it. Probably you will be able to read bin/cue type audio image in this mode. Note that cue sheet in this mode must have extension ".cue".
Supported internal/embedded cuesheet partially (GUI)
Currently XLD only supports cuesheet embedded as FLAC__StreamMetadata which is natively supported by FLAC. When you open the file that has embedded/internal cue sheet, you can choose from the dialog if you want to read it. foobar2000's original(?) format, that is, cue sheet which is embedded as Ape tag/VorbisComment will be supported in the future.
Command-line version will be updated later...
Updated lame mp3 encoder's version to 3.97 (GUI)
Some minor fixes (GUI)
lame 3.97 doesn't have any quality-related change since 3.97b3. You don't have to re-encode your files.
(Revision 2)
Updated Libsndfile library
Supported FLAC output (GUI)
Someone's request.
The reason why XLD did not support lossless encoder(except ALAC...because it is playable on iTunes) is simply the name of application, i.e. "lossless decoder" ;)
Updated AAC output plugin (GUI)
Gapless information now includes the number of padding samples. This will make the info fully compatible with iTunes 7...
Added option to add gapless playback information for AAC output plugin (GUI)
AAC output plugin adds gapless playback information that is newly added to files encoded by iTunes 7. If you decode the file with this information using iTunes 7, the number of samples of output is exactly the same as the original. This info is probably available only for iTunes 7 (not for other player). Note that the previous AAC files encoded by XLD seem to be gapless (for me) if use iTunes 7... And this option is currently experimental, so please report me if something is wrong.
ALAC and mp3(lame) are already ready for gapless playback. For mp3 iTunes 7 seems to read lame tags.
Fixed problem that disabled Apple lossless encoder (GUI)
By the way, gapless playback became possible thanks to the release of iTunes 7. Now you can enjoy gapless playback of files split/encoded by XLD using iTunes 7.
Updated lame mp3 encoder's version to 3.97b3 (GUI)
Modified default quality of lame to '-q 3' (GUI)
Now output is euqivalent to the preset of command-line encoder...
XLD is now able to play and convert simultaneously (GUI)
Updated TTA decoder
Fixed some bugs in lame mp3 output plugin (GUI)
Rewrote all output plugins for future major update release (GUI)
Added preliminary support for batch conversion (GUI)
If you open multiple files with XLD simultaneously, they will be converted one after another.
The files which are not supported by XLD will be ignored (XLD shows no error message in batch conversion mode).
Fixed several bugs in CDDB querying routine (GUI)
Added checkbox to enable/disable local CDDB cache (GUI)
To remove cache, please delete ~/.cddbslave directory. (use Terminal, etc)
Updated Monkey's Audio decoder
