DESCRIPTION
xACT stands for X Audio Compression Toolkit. It is a GUI based front end written in AppleScript Studio for the Unix applications Shorten, shntool, monkey's audio compressor, flac, and cdda2wav with paranoia support. It also uses a modified md5sum and sox. It does the basic commands of these applications and adds a few features to speed up productivity in creation of etree.org standard filesets.

THENOSKCAJ  Does anyone know WHY Growl support was removed from v1.61?? From the notes of 1.62, it wasn't added back.

Strange!  (Version 1.62)

JETCURIEUX  Excellent app. Concise and to the point. Makes transcoding a snap. Plus now LAME is integrated. To sum up in one word. Indespensable.  (Version 1.62)
