While I am still putting together a more detailed overview of Meedio’s lossless audio features Meedio released version 1.38. With this upgrade comes a very welcome update for the BASS sound engine. Bass Sound Engine 2.2 includes native support for AC3, FLAC, ALAC, APE, MPC, WV and SPX! Meedio previously supported Flac, WavPack and Ape with plug-ins but now it is native. (Thx Bora Bora)
