DOCC  I was in more or less the same situation as several others have described here: trouble decoding FLAC files and having XLD hanging on the second file. (At that point my whole system would hang.)

This surprised me since XLD has performed flawlessly from the first time I tried it.

Removing WindowShade and the APE file it installs fixed all the problems I was having. Those Haxies just don't seem worth the bother.

DOCC  Finally!!!!

Thanks so much for this.

Finally I can rip those stupid single flac, ape or wav plus a cue file combinations that have been driving me nuts.
