One of my missing "key insights" was not knowing that "configure. I've used "Terminal" before, mainly on Windows but also Mac I won't free-lance with it, but can follow clear directions.
>you said that you are not comfortable with Terminal. Is it just more difficult now? Or am I missing key insights that would make it easy, or lacking key skills? I don't remember facing any major obstacles then (with iTunes LAME Encoder, iTunes, LAME 3.97) like those I'm having now (with XLD, LAME 3.100). More than a decade ago (maybe 2008?) I downloaded iTunes-LAME Encoder, and it worked well with LAME 3.97 (or 3.98?). Really? Isn't there an easier way that regular Mac users - who rarely use "configure commands" (terminal commands? or whatever these are) - can use without getting out of our comfort zone? If there is an easier way, I couldn't find it in their "install" instructions. The "ReadMe" leads to an "INSTALL" document that says (after I figured out that *NIX means UNIX) to a section that begins "Building the software on *NIX platforms using configure: Run the following commands: %. ?Īnd with LAME 3.100, I can't even get to the stage of clicking. Contact the developer for more information." Sigh. when I click on "XLD.app" instead of opening it says "XLD.app can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. The universal binary of XLD now includes Native M1, so it should run well on my new M1-Mini with the latest Big Sur, 11.4 But. OK.īut by contrast with the ease of using Apple Music App - it's already installed with the OS, is free, easy to use, with easy-to-understand choices for everything (thus no need to find special "how to do it" pages), is overall easy with low "learning curve" so all tracks on my first CD were encoded into Apple's MP3 within a few minutes - using XLD and LAME hasn't been easy. Markuza says to just "use LAME," and NateHigs recommends "XLD on MacOS" that specializes in FLAC (offers benefits, maybe useful later) but also does LAME mp3 (good for my current project).
