Existing users, 
It's freewae. Thanks,
It's too bad it doesn't deal with the audio formats I need -- Monkey's àudio (APE) primarily, but it also doesn't convert stone age formats like MS Wave (PCM and its family) to MP3 or OGG. If it did that, Almost everything else would be just quirky, and therefore acceptable in freeware.
If you need this functionality in freeware for MAC, take a look at COG for playback and MAX for conversion. Booth free, and IMHO both better.

Also, check out xACT, a great Universal Binary program for decoding and encoding FLAC as well as SHN and APE. It has a verification/checksum tool, an SHN tool, a Fix SBE tool, the ability to add FLAC tags, and a Batch Rename / CD Extraction tool. It is freeware.And furthermore, be sure to get the freeware Xiph QuickTime component for functionality using the Xiph family of formats in any QuickTime enabled application: Vorbis (Ogg), Theora, Icecast, Speex, FLAC and XSPF. It is Open Source and free. When you install it be sure you clean out any old precursor components written by Arek Korbik as they will conflict with the XiphQT component. You will find the old components in /Library/QuickTime/. Note that XiphQT is installed into /Library/Components.
And yes, I am a sick to death of the confused diversity of sound formats just as I am sick of the mess of video, DVD and HD formats. It wastes a lot of time, if not money, dealing with them all. However, diversity is part of any healthy environment. It provides choice and encourages innovation. So I keep telling myself to stop complaining.
