#560 Impossible to open .Sd2f files anymore
Hi ! All my cd collection is sd2f files (made long time ago with Toast) and sometines i converted CD’s in Flac. But now it doesn't work anymore, on my M1 MacBook Pro, and on my iMac Pro too (on Monterey, Catalina, High Sierra), with recent and older XLD version). I don’t understand. The message is « impossible to open the source file »with a second a one « Open as w File PCM(cue) »
I could open a CD with Toast, but fo batch conversions, XLD was so great.
Thanks for anyone who’s got an idea !
At least it is working on my environment, both Monterey and Sierra using the latest version of XLD.
Strange.
Can you try with that Sd2f ?

Thanks, best.
Well, the file doesn't have a resource fork where Sd2f format stores metadata. Copying .Sd2f to non-macos filesystem or uploading to the internet will kill the resource fork and the files will be broken.
Not possible if it is really lost. If copying back to native macOS filesystem (i.e. internal SSD) does nothing then no chance I guess.
