Sorry but it's just the opposite, CDXtract is the only converter available
on OSX, it has been released more than 2 months ago and have the same
features than the other versions on Windows and OS9.
CDXtract is usually better than the EXS internal convertor because this is
its main goal. Emagic cannot spend the same amount of time than me just on
the conversion part. Moreover I'm more likely to answer quickly and send you
a patch if you encounter any problem. If you have a lot of Akai CDs or Iso
images then CDXtract is also the best choice because it will convert them
way faster than the internal converter. Last point, CDXtract includes a
database that could be very useful for someone like you who own a lot of
disks. I suggest that before converting each disk, you add them in the
database (it takes just about 1 minute) and you will then be able to search
for any specific sample or program in all your sampler library.

Hope this helps,
Bernard
