    I can find no reference to DTS files in documentation and support. Are there any plans to add DTS to the Add File options?

    fre:ac does not have official support for DTS files at this time.

    However, you can transcode DTS with the fre:ac snapshot release and the attached decoder script. Copy the XML file to the boca subfolder before starting fre:ac.

    Multi-channel DTS files will be converted to stereo, however, as fre:ac does not handle multi-channel audio very well yet.

    The next snapshot release will add official support for DTS and AC3 decoding and improve multi-channel support in general.

    For example, you will be able to convert 5.1 DTS to WAV, FLAC, TAK, WavPack and WMA.

    Tell me if you'd like to test a preview build.

    Hi Carlos,

    Here's a preview build with the multi-channel improvements. An official snapshot release will be out tomorrow or on Sunday.
