To convert files from a compressed format like FLAC, SHN, Monkey's Audio, Wavepack, Apple Lossless, etc to aiff or wav, you use the "Decode" tab. The basic functions of xACT are split into various tabs in the application.

If you have any questions about how to use it, feel free to email me. Someday I'll get around to making it more detailed. I'm sorry that this brief "how to" isn't nearly as complete as it should be. I thought only a few people would use it.Ĭopy the xACT application to your hard drive. I started adding support for flac, shn, monkey's audio, etc. XACT started in 2003 as a simple graphical interface for the command line tool "shntool." I knew a few people who didn't want to use the command line, so I created a front end to let them use shntool () without having to use Terminal. It executes the basic commands of these applications and adds other features to speed up productivity in creation/use of standard filesets. 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, 3.100), flac (1.4.0), wavpack (5.5.0), TTA (3.4.1), Opus (libopus 1.1), cdda2wav 3.0 (with paranoia support), LAME (3.100), and aacplusenc (0.17.5).

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. XACT stands for X Audio Compression Toolkit, an application that encodes and decodes FLAC, SHN, Monkey’s Audio, TTA, Wavpack, and Apple Lossless files.
