    ALAC as Open Source

    Now that ALAC is open source is there any plans to include it natively?
    I have one Library that is ALAC and I'd like to use your ripping software with Acuraterip to maintain new additions with.
    I also have a requirement from time to time to batch convert titles from my ALAC to a 2nd AAC library used with itunes & Ipods.
    (I used this as a trial once before and it worked flawlessly, however when now revisiting it, it does not seem able to load the AAC module)
    Should I wait for the next update that my have ALAC & AAC native before evaluating/purchasing your product?

    ALAC (Apples open source version) will be added shortly, AAC is not part of the recent Apple OS initiative.

    Hi Spoon,

    Do you have a rough estimate on the target release date for this update?

    Thanks.

Literally days after I finished, Apple released ALAC open source. I've been waiting to buy it ever since. (Yes, I know it'll probably work just fine with the reverse-enigeered version, but if the real deal is out there, and this is clearly a "do it right the first time" undertaking with 300+ CDs, might as well do it right!)

    Can't wait, and the sooner the better! (I'll have lots of free time, for example, over Thanksgiving break. Hint hint!)
