What XRECODE3 is
XRECODE3 converts audio formats including MP3, WAV, FLAC, and DSD, and can extract audio from most video files or grab Audio-CD tracks. It supports batch conversion, with output controls for channel count, sample rate, sample format, dithering, and DSD-over-PCM when saving to WAV or FLAC. Listed formats also include OGG, M4A, ALAC, DFF, DSF, DSD/DST, DTS, WavPack, and AAC. The console version supports command-line parameters, wildcard file selection, recursive folder input, merging or splitting audio, and metadata import and export; it can also retrieve metadata online. The site offers 32-bit and 64-bit Windows downloads, including portable and console versions. Linux downloads are offered for XRECODE4M on amd64 in GTK2, GTK3, Qt5, and Qt6 variants; GTK builds require their respective libraries. XRECODE3 costs $19, paid once, with registration by email, and has no free plan. The maker points users to its forum and wiki for usage information.
