I don't think I ever had the LosslessCut app actually crash on me. The web has all the big tech pushing new features and improvements all the time and it maintains really good backwards compatibility. It gives you all the features of the web, and it "just works" on almost any popular OS. It lets you easily build a cross-OS app on a super optimised, stable and secure platform that's being battle tested by billions of people around the world every day (Chromium). Somewhat unpopular opinion, but here goes: Developing an app using Electron gives such tremendous benefits that it far outweighs any downsides. I think the most common criticism is that the app is large and uses a lot of memory (compared to Notepad?:P) due to it being Electron based. Also, XLD supports output a CD image with a cue sheet (wav+cue, flac+cue, etc).I just discovered this post, and I'm really happy to see a lot of satisfied long time users as well as excited new users who recently discovered this. You can convert each track in your audio CD into the desired format. XLD version 20080812 and later can be used as a CD ripper. It can convert audio files into WAVE, AIFF, Raw PCM, Ogg Vorbis (aoTuV), MPEG-4 AAC (QuickTime/CoreAudio), MP3 ( LAME), Apple Lossless, FLAC, HE-AAC (aacPlus v1/v2), Wave64, WavPack, and IETF Opus. XLD also supports so-called 'embedded' or 'internal' cue sheet. All of the supported formats can be directly split with the cue sheet.

XLD uses not decoder frontend but library to decode, so no intermediate files are generated. Other formats supported by Libsndfile are also decodable. XLD is Universal Binary, so it runs natively on both Intel Macs and PPC Macs. The supported audio files can be split into some tracks with cue sheet when decoding. X Lossless Decoder(XLD) is a tool for Mac OS X that is able to decode/convert/play various 'lossless' audio files.
