Moosbrugger Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Sorry if this has been answered. I just upgraded my Mac Mini to Big Sur, and XLD does not seem to work. What are folks using as an alternative? I downloaded some FLAC files and need to convert them to ALAC to get them into my iTunes library. (Am I correct that the Music app wont do this?)

Marco Klobas Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Are you sure it doesn't work? I have a Mac mini with Big Sur and XLD works. Besides the app has been updated just a week ago. Link to post Share on other sites
stefano_mbp Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 The suggestion is if it doesn't work .... I'm on High Sierra therefore I cannot verify Stefano My audio system Link to post Share on other sites
Moosbrugger Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 Yup -- I downloaded XLD from a different site, and it worked. Thanks. A Hudson Valley Home: Kichels -- A Recipe from the Old Country Link to post Share on other sites
blaven Posted Thursday at 01:31 AM Share Posted Thursday at 01:31 AM I also have the same problem and have tried to download from 2 sites now, I can download, but then every time I try to open it I get an Apple System Popup Alert that reads: "XLD" can't be opened because apple cannot check it for malicious software. This software needs to be updated. Contact the Developer for more information. Not sure if I can get into the security settings and somehow force apple to allow it as a "safe" application. Never had this problem until Big Sur though.

blaven Posted Thursday at 01:34 AM Share Posted Thursday at 01:34 AM Well, 90 seconds later, here is the solution for anyone else having the problem: Go to apple system preferences-->Security and Privacy, then in general, it will show you that it was blocked, and you can override Hopefully it helps someone Aurender S10--> Berkeley Alpha USB—> Meitner MA-1 --> Audio Research REF6 Pre --> Audio Research REF-110-->Vandersteen Quatro CT Speakers Sonore UltraRendu with Uptone power supply —> Meitner MA1 AQ Sky XLR Interconnects, Audioquest Diamond USB, Wireworld Platinum Starlight USB, Nordost Heimdall 2 AES-EBU AMG Giro Turntable w Lyra Delos Cartridge —> Audio Research Ref 3 PhonoPre HRS RXR Rack with Isolation Bases Link to post Share on other sites

Checking the box to allow apps from other developers was one of the first things I did. Before it was possible to find the app in finder and right click it, select open, it would ask for the administrator password, and then it would work fine. No electron left behind...
