I've taken the CD-DA X-Tractor source and made some modifications to it. I've contacted the program's original author but I haven't heard back and there hasn't been much activity these past couple months.
So I figured during the down-time I'd post a link to a build of my modified source, along with a link to the source itself.
Two major fixes in my copy. First, the SETI@Home issue is addressed. The encoding thread priority is now set to LOWEST which is one step above IDLE which is what X-Tractor's encoding thread was originally set at. This fixes the slow encoding you encounter when trying to encode and have SETI@Home or some other type of distributed computing application in running in the background.
Second fix is that you can now specify paths within the output filename macro. This way you can have X-Tractor extract to directories based off the album, title or track name. This way you don't need to change this value EVERY time you rip a CD. Simply put a backslash ( \ ) in the macro as if you were specifying a directory or folder.
Both fixes are no more than simple hacks to add a little functionality to an already excellent program.
