What's new in this version:

Feature additions

• Supported simultaneous codec conversion
Select "Multiple Formats" in the output format and check the preferred format in the option. Note that WAV, AIFF, PCM and WAVE64 is exclusive each other.

• Integrated drive caching ability measurement routine of CDParanoia III 10.2
To measure, open a CD and choose "Measure Drive Cache Ability" in File menu.

• 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.

• Added option to open, query, and eject CD automatically
XLD now recognizes disc insertion and allows you to start ripping without any manual operations. If you choose XLD as an preferred application for audio CDs in system preferences, XLD works as iTunes.

Improvements

• XLD now recognizes '/' (slash) as a directory separator in the filename format field
XLD creates folder automatically. You can save files in the preferred folder by its title, artist, etc.

• Supported album artist (%A) and format name (%f) in the filename field

• Renovated the behavior of progress window
You can convert thousands of files without slowdown.

• Supported writing metadata for AIFF files
XLD now writes iTunes-compatible tags against AIFF files.

• Added option to control samplerate in some output plugins

• Updated LAME output plugin to make id3 tags to be written in little-endian format
Because some softwares in windows doesn't support big-endian tags (sucks!).

• Supported compilation tag

• Improved Gracenote (iTunes) CDDB file importer
Now per-track artist, composer, comment, etc. are recognized.

• Added option to disable embedding cue sheet in FLAC and WavPack encoder

• Modified wavpack encoder to store MD5 checksum by default

• Updated LAME to version 3.98.2

• Updated Sparkle.framework

• Added Dutch translation (thanks to Jesse Muller)

Bug fixes

• Fixed AR checking issue of Apple Lossless files
• Fixed some issues with the new cdparanoia engine
• Fixed a problem when ripping Mixed Mode CD/Enhanced CD
• Removed redundancy of the cue sheet generated by XLD
• Fixed crash on connection failure to MusicBrainz database

^^ Grazie, stasera sono un po' preso :) Nel frattempo non avevo nemmeno segnalato due o tre altri aggiornamenti disponibili solo attraverso l'auto-update...

2009/8/28
Version 20090829:
Fixed a problem when reading ISRC tag in FLAC files
Supported the new HE-AAC encoder in Snow Leopard

Existing "MPEG-4 HE-AAC" encoder is still available, but this is different from the Apple's one.
Fixed a small problem in CD info.cidb parser
Updated internal drive offset database
Updated Simplified Chinese resources

2009/8/25
Fixed an incompatibility of AAC/ALAC encoder with Snow Leopard
More intelligent CD Info.cidb parser
Fixed failure of exporting to iTunes when filename contains backslash
XLD is now able to skip processing when the file with the same name exists

• Fixed a problem that autoloading disc was not working on Snow Leopard
• XLD now accepts cover arts dragged from web browsers
• Implemented an interactive bitrate indicator for AAC ture VBR encoder
• Fixed a problem when reading ISRC tag in FLAC files

Ottimo. Grazie della segnalazione, Padmè. :)

Per inciso, il supporto per la decodifica dei file Shorten era stato inserito in una build precedente disponibile solo tramite l'autoaggiornamento: testato, la conversione funziona egregiamente (!), il player singhiozza un po' (su Tiger quanto meno).

Version 20100123:

Supported detecting pregap length longer than 10 seconds
Added support for "SONGWRITER" command as the composer info in cue sheets
Added the option to skip detecting pregap
Format string for the album artist (%A) is now replaced with "Compilations" when the compilation flag is set
Pre-gap length is shown in the ripping log
Checkboxes in the track list window accept modifier key
Fixed a CDDB and AR query issue in CD-extra discs
Fixed a crash when disable embedding cover images
Fixed an invalid duration time issue in Apple HE-AAC encoder
Fixed a hangup when reading ogg vorbis files

Version 20100218:
Fixed again the duration problem of HE-AAC files

Version 20100217:
Enabled HE-AAC encoder on OSX 10.5
Introduced a hack :p
Assigned cmd-D for the decode button

Version 20100214:
Added an experimental support for TAK decoder (intel only)
Now XLD provides TAK decoder powered by Wine. 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.
