Me too. It's been years and I don't remember why I took 2011 off the machine and started using 2008 again.. must have had some kind of trouble with the former.

I think someone confirmed the first two the other day for me for Yosemite, but how about in El Cap?

Audio
Sysex Librarian
Cherry Picker (our "special" Mavericks-enabled v3.0)
VLC
XLD (I use it for conversion from flac to wav only)
Audacity
SoundCloud Downloader

Misc
Folx
Little Snitch 3
ClipGrab
The Unarchiver
Keep Drive Spinning

Task Bar
MainMenu
XMenu
MenuMeters
Temperature Monitor

... and I know it's a long shot, but I don't know how I'll live without it:
ExtraFinder!

Thank you for any input, fellow 'Cornies.

I have no idea if it's El Cap compatible but I use Twisted Wave for that and most other conversions. It can do batch file conversions as well—a real time saver. Cult of Mac often offers it in the $15–$20 range.

I haven't looked at Audacity in ages but I remember that it could do that conversion as well. Am I remembering incorrectly?
