Installing Semplice on macOS

1.0 Introduction

Only tested with macports: I may try to test it with Homebrew on a more modern (supported) version of Intel macOS in the future.

1. sacd-extract is available, but you will need to manually allow it to run in System Preferences → Security & Privacy Only runs on Intel Macs at the moment (as I have no Apple Silicon Macs to test on).

2. CD Ripping works, pretty much as it does on non-Macs. However:

3. Tagging works fine, including with custom tags. There remains a concern that foreign characters in names, titles etc. are not handled entirely correctly, but that may have been a one-off during early alpha testing.
4. Volume boosting works
5. Audio codec conversions work
6. Spectrum analysis works
7. SuperFlac creation and splitting works
8. Editing of embedded cuesheet works, but there is currently a hard dependency on WezTerm to display the text editor: macOS's version of xterm won't respect font size or font directives when launched and therefore you would end up with a ghastly, tiny text display that is functionally a disaster area. WezTerm is thus a hard dependency of Semplice on macOS.
