Re: [SurroundSound] Convert SACD ISO to individual DSD tracks?

First, just to be sure, you got the Mac version, right?  No .exe at the end :)

Assuming you downloaded to the default, it would be something like this:

~/Downloads/sacd_extract --mch-tracks --output-dsdiff --input="Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells.iso"

--mch-tracks says to grab the multi-channel tracks.    --2ch-tracks grabs the stereo tracks.

--output-dsdiff gives you diff files, which can't be tagged but are much smaller for multi-channel

--output-dsf gives you dsf files.

--input= is obviously the name of the iso file.  The output apparently always goes to the directory where you run the program so cd there first!

You can also use

~/Downloads/sacd_extract --print --input="Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells.iso"

This will give you a listing of what's in the iso.

Anyway, you can't click on it.  You have to open a terminal and type the command with the proper arguments after it.

Hi David

How do you use SACD_Extract? It doesn´t work here, it opens Terminal and then nothing happens…

Best Regards

Hi Guys

Thanx for your good ideas...

Sorry, they don't work

There's a Mac version of sacd_extract.  I use this to split ISOs into tracks.  You can then use JRiver (beta works great on Mac) or foobar2000 (under Parallels/Win or wine) to export as FLAC.  Was doing this all weekend!

XLD is great, too.

I tried AudirvanaPlus and a couple of other high-end playback programs in the last few days but they were all crashing and freezing.  I also avoid iTunes like the plague so I can't help there.   For simple, just play a song/album, I use vlc.  For more control, I'm thinking JRiver is the best with a good history and multi-platform support.

sorry just realised the application is SACD_EXTRACT not SACDRIPPER.

Hi Kurt. I personally have no knowledge of any Mac utilities for this. I use Foobar with SACD plugin, or SACDRIPPER on Windows to convert SACD ISO files to FLAC format.
Unsure whether this can be of any use to you.

Sorry if this has been discussed and solved before....

I have not found out how to convert a SACD ISO so I can play it in iTunes together with the rest of my music. I use MacosX.

The ISO plays fine when I load it to my AudirvanaPlus software, but sometimes I want to add it to some playlists and other editing stuff, so I´d like to convert them to Flac or Aiif/ iTunes…

I am sorry if this has been solved already, and if, then I have not been able to find the right Web site   ;=)

I hope you maybe can help, or point me to sites who can

Cordially
