X Lossless Decoder (XLD) is a macOS tool for decoding, converting, and playing lossless audio files in formats such as FLAC, Monkey's Audio, WavPack, Alac, and others. It functions as a secure CD ripper with support for cue sheets, allowing users to split audio files into individual tracks during decoding. XLD is widely used by audiophiles, archivists, and home media enthusiasts who need to work with lossless audio without quality loss. The app is free and open-source, making it a popular choice for serious music hobbyists managing large digital collections.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) build of XLD has been confirmed running on real Macs in the Rosetta Check community. Anyone still on an older Intel-only build under Rosetta should update to the latest version to get the native build, which will deliver better performance and lower power consumption on M-series Macs. Download the latest version directly from the official XLD website or SourceForge project page; the download should automatically serve the native build on Apple Silicon systems.
