xACT overview
xACT stands for X Audio Compression Toolkit, an application that encodes and decodes FLAC, SHN, Monkey's Audio, TTA, Wavpack, and Apple Lossless files. It also can encode these formats to MP3, AAC, or Opus, and do various other utility functions, in addition to a full set of shntool functions. Under the hood, xACT is a GUI based front end for the unix applications Shorten (3.6.1), shntool (3.0.10), Monkey's Audio Compressor (3.99), flac (1.3.1), wavpack (4.70.0), TTA (3.4.1), Opus 0.1.6, and cdda2wav 3.0 (with paranoia support). It also uses SoX ( 14.4.2), LAME (3.99.5), AtomicParsley (0.9.0), TagLib (1.9.1) and MP4v2 (2.0.0). It executes the basic commands of these applications and adds other features to speed up productivity in creation/use of etree.org standard filesets.

Version: 2.55
If, like me, you run into browser issues connecting to the dev site, it's because he still uses ye olde HTTP, not safe and modern HTTPS. Try another browser. For all I know, it's a badly coded chromium deriviative extension causing the trouble. There really is no excuse these days for using ye olde HTTP. Wake up Scott Brown.

ATM the dev site is down, as is a surprising amount of the Internet. Try L8R. xACT is great.

Does version 2.52 run on Mac OS Ventura 13.4? I have tried to download several times, but the download does not begin.
