- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Big thanks to the program's developer, you rock! I use this program a lot and I really can't think of too many complaints. Its been mostly used for decoding (FLAC to AIFF), and I've never had this application quit, nor have I had any file errors after converting, ever. It is very fast too - on my 1.67GHz Powerbook, I can decode an entire album in seconds! My old 1Ghz iMacG4 takes longer about 5 minutes or so. Although not perfect, I don't hesitate to give xACT a 5 star rating, although 4.8 would be more appropriate. improvement suggestions: 1. see other posts 2. when busy decoding, xACT seems like its locked up - I can't minimize/hide or bring it to the front by clicking dock icon. Its not a big deal when I do it on the Powerbook since its so fast, on the iMac however, it can get a little annoying. One solution/feature, would be to allow simultaneous [decoding] processes. This would be especially great for older machines. Perhaps allowing the user to at least queue up a set of files to be decoded - matter of fact, I think this would be great feature to add. Currently, I feel like I babysit xACT. I have to wait until its done with current decode to load it with more files, this gets irritating since dock icon acts funny.
Super Job!

Not only that, but the developer is quick to respond and is very helpful... all the while not making a dime off us! Absolutely should be in the arsenal of anyone who every does anything with audio files.
great app

A Lifesaver!

Nice piece of kit.

I don't know what the previous poster's problem is, but I suggest he perform a radical maintenance overhaul of his System. I for one am very impressed with xACT. Recommended!
