no FLAC option in prefs

2016-09-11 01:50:49

have XLD running on two machines... FLAC appears and seems to work on big Mac Pro.  But on old, MacBook Pro, I only get AIFF, PCM and WAV as output options???

does it eliminate options if it thinks the processor can't handle it???  seems weird, since elapsed time is not an issue.

how do I get FLAC as an output option??

thank you

You may wish to look to their issue tracker for a beta version, if that fixes older machines. I know a snapshot build was necessary for macOS Sierra, or else none of the format support plugins would load. I don't know how that affects older machines running older OS versions.

Sorry, I sometimes forget that not everyone is as resourceful as I am with finding things, so when I reference things by name, I'm just being lazy about finding them again.

In case anyone else needs to go looking:
